SignalR send message to Clients from external application

Is it possible to send a message to the clients connected to a Hub from another process? I set up LINQPad to reference my Hub project's DLL and set VS to attach debugging to the LINQPad process. My project has a HubNotification class that uses the following code:

dynamic clients = Hub.GetClients<MyHubClass>();
clients.SendMessage("My Message");

When debugging I can see this code being called, but my connected clients never get sent a message. I have verified with Fiddler that there is nothing HTTP happening when the above code runs. Am I missing something or is this just not possible?

That call only works if you're in the same app domain. If you want to connect to the signalr service from another process/application, then you need to use a signalr client. More info here:
