Push Notification > Page Location
Conor Gilsenan
This is the prime feature that is preventing me from using Adalo for my current project. When users click on a notification, I need them to be shown a specific screen in the app.
My use-case is to send scheduled notifications, as explained in the Adalo docs here: https://help.adalo.com/integrations/the-adalo-api/push-notifications. When the user clicks the notification, I need them to be sent to a specific page.
Currently, the Adalo API docs say that this is not possible: https://github.com/AdaloHQ/docs/tree/main/public-api#notifications
However, the docs for Trigger Notifications highlights that we can select a specific screen that the notification recipient should be taken to when they click on the notification: https://help.adalo.com/action-basics/automatic-screen-actions
It seems that this functionality is available, but not properly documented in the API docs?

Conor Gilsenan: I found a way to do it using a complex hack. I create a notification in a MySQL database and when I send the notification to the user, I have the home page check the MySQL database (using an API I made) and have a notification screen that shows their messages in the app. Then, they can click those messages to go to a specific page. It was pretty tricky, but it does work. I agree it would be MUCH easier to send them to a specific page in the app though.
