Push notifications, any news?

I'm interested in this too

hello everyone! I know this is a hot topic for many people, since notifications improve a lot the community interactions.

I've been working on a solution for me and I want to share it, in case anyone else might need it.

This is simply a code snippet (working) that you can add. In the code you can see I eventually forward the notification to wpmobile.app (the plugin I am using to transform my community into an app), but there you can add the code for any other external notification management system.
Here's the snippet, I hope you'll enjoy it :)

add_action('plugins_loaded', function () {

// Helper function to log debug messages
if (!function_exists('fluentcommunity_debug_log')) {
    function fluentcommunity_debug_log($message) {
        if (is_array($message) || is_object($message)) {
            $message = print_r($message, true);
        }
        error_log("[FLUENTCOMMUNITY DEBUG] " . $message);
    }
}

// List of FluentCommunity hooks to intercept
$hooks = [
    'fluent_community/space_feed/created',
    'fluent_community/email_notify_new_posts',
    'fluent_community/comment_added',
    'fluent_community/comment_added_async',
    //'fluent_community/email_notify_users_everyone_tag',
    //'fluent_community_send_daily_digest',
    //'fluent_community/space/join_requested',
];

foreach ($hooks as $hook_name) {
    add_action($hook_name, function (...$args) use ($hook_name) {
        fluentcommunity_debug_log("📌 Hook triggered: $hook_name");
        // fluentcommunity_debug_log($args);

        $recipient_email = null;
        $user_id = null;

        foreach ($args as $arg) {
            // If argument is an array
            if (is_array($arg)) {
                if (isset($arg['user_email'])) {
                    $recipient_email = $arg['user_email'];
                    break;
                }
                if (isset($arg['user_id'])) {
                    $user_id = $arg['user_id'];
                }
            }

            // If argument is an object and has user-related properties or methods
            if (is_object($arg)) {
                if (method_exists($arg, 'getUserId')) {
                    $user_id = $arg->getUserId();
                } elseif (method_exists($arg, 'getAttribute') && $arg->getAttribute('user_id')) {
                    $user_id = $arg->getAttribute('user_id');
                } elseif (property_exists($arg, 'user_id')) {
                    $user_id = $arg->user_id;
                }
            }
        }

Ross FCA implementing some kind of push notification would be a great add-on.

Shahjahan Jewel Any word on this? Huge need!

I just used http://wpmobile.app/ to build an app and did some custom coding to make push notification work and its amazing everyone in my community loves it.. and it all custom white lable with no monthly cost!
