I’m wondering if there is a way to send push notifications to a specific user based on our own custom triggers. i.e., not just when they are mentioned or whatever, but something arbitrary in our business logic. I’ve been looking around but haven’t seen anything in the docs like this.

Hey @fullStackChris,

Sendbird does not support custom triggers for generating push notifications. One option would be to utilize webhooks to consume into your own push notification service. That would allow you to use your internal business logic to determine when a push notification is sent.

@Ian - thanks for the quick response! Yep, I figured this was the case. No worries though, we already have some infrastructure which we can send them with. I’ll have to hook it up that way 🙂
