How to pause a Notification

[Trevor Hanes]

Hi, So I've been doing a lot of work, setting up our site and new service, but it never occurred to me to the other day, that I need to include a feature that can pause a notification, is there a way this can be done via API, seeing this is my main source for parsing between my site and Plotprojects.

Hi Trevor,

It is possible to pause notifications through the API. Whether a notification can is enabled or not is determined by the "state" property of the notification. It can have two values: "published" (enabled in the dashboard) and "unpublished" (paused in the dashboard).

To pause a notification, just set the "state" property of the notification to "unpublished". To enable it again you can set the state to "publised".

If something is unclear or if you have further questions, please let us know.

Kind regards,

Mark

Hi Mark, 

A Follow up to this question asked by Trev,

I have set via our Dashboard to Publish / Pause Notifications, the issue is that I have set a Notification to Pause, and I do see the state of the Notification as Pause, however, I received the Notification via the App?

Here is that has been done:

Pausing a Notification, I Update a Notification:

PUT /api/v1/notification/<id>

{

    message: String (optional),

    data: String (optional), // See data field in glossary

    ...

    published: false, // false to Pause, true for Publishing

....

}




The returned state after Updating this notification was unpublished, yet after deleting the app, and re-initializing the Plot Module in Titanium (even till the next day), I received the notification (tested on iOS Titanium Module).

Hi Joseph,

We're unable to reproduce the issue you describe. Could you provide more information about the notification which was sent even though it was paused? Maybe you could mail me the id of the notification (or the whole url to the edit notification page in the dashboard) so we can look into it further?

We provide debug logging to see in more detail what notifications get loaded. Did you use that? Our test app has it enabled by default.

Kind regards,

Mark van der Tol
