Messenger Bot and Push Notifications

(Max Lemme) #1

I’m very new to all this, just started this afternoon. How do I send a series of notifications to my members. I’d like to send them specific information every 24 hours. Am I then still able to ask questions and answer in between these msg? Thank you.

Hi Max,

Glad to have you onboard :smile:

You would need a separate flow to handle the series of notifications. To put a delay between messages you would need to use the wait service. This will pause the flow and the next task will only happen after the designated wait time.

Alternatively if you want to send a message to all users you could look at using the broadcast service, which we have a tutorial on here. You could still use the wait function in this as well to retrigger the flow at the appropriate time, otherwise you could just push information to the users when required.

The bot will still be usable for answering questions etc as long as these features are in a different flow which is active.

Any problems just give us a shout and we’ll be happy to help. :smiley:
