Background Xamerin notifications based on query #5053

Greetings everyone!

I am just going to start looking at the mobile projects. I have no prior experience with smartphone development (but I will soon!) and I don't want to make any assumptions. I am ready to dive in but thought I would just get some feedback here that might save me some grief.

With the ASP.NET Zero project out of the box, what I need to achieve now is to have smartphone apps that send background notifications to the user/clients based on:

1.) A SQL query result on the backend. Something like a schedule / appointment alarm. 2.) When certain data us updated such as a new appointment is created by someone else for the user.

Any tips would be appreciated! My assumption that this is "Push" technology to the client, but now I will go do some exploring. :)

Thanks!!

    You will need some kind of push notification system. We were looking at doing this: <a class="postlink" href="https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/xamarin/xamarin-forms/data-cloud/push-notifications/azure">https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/xamari ... ions/azure</a>

    Note: this is just one piece, you would need another trigger to do the query to tell the hub to send it, and to whom or what subscription group.

    Let me know what you find out. I know at some point Ill need to go down the same path. The whole azure landscape is vast though and becomes quicksand super fast lol.
