How to send notification to specific phone

Finbarr

I have built an app using Thunkable and Xano and need to know how to send a notification to a specific phone whether or not my app is currently running.

Looking at OneSignal it does not recommend using an API to send push notifications to mobile devices and instead steers people towards an SDK. As a no-code developer, I can't use the SDK.

The scenario is that when a record is written to a specific table in the database, a push notification needs to be send to the phone associated with the record.

Does anyone have any recommendations on how to do this?

Unfortunately @jared gibb no longer works for Thunkable

Hey @Finbarr are you trying to send a push to a specific device?

You would convert the blocks in this post to an API call in Xano. you'd need to save user IDs to the DB

Hello @Finbarr , Do you remember me solving you problems through Thunkable support? I've already built a Thunkable app that uses Xano as a backend and sends notifications to specific devices. I will love to assist you in integrating the same into your app.
