I am keen to do some modifications to the Discourse Mobile app to get push notifications working for our self-hosted installation of Discourse, particularly on iOS. From reading the What if I want to white-label the Discourse Mobile apps? thread, it seems that I would need to configure the allowed u…

I did a bit of trawling through the Discourse source code, and found the following in the post_alerter.rb file: app/services/post_alerter.rb c531f4ded MessageBus.publish("/notification-alert/#{user.id}", payload, user_ids: [user.id]) push_…

[imagen] skoota: does each user who wants to opt-in for push notifications need a user-based API key? yes [imagen] skoota: I am still not sure about the workflow of how a user would start an iOS app, agree to receive push notifications, and then all the stuff on the backend of Discourse …

Thanks for the info @sam [imagen] sam: When you create your user api key and “approve” the app to read access, push access is implied. This can be controlled by your mobile phone anyway cause you can later on disallow push notifications. Okay, so I am still a bit confused here… Am I corre…

[imagen] skoota: Am I correct that users cannot create their own API keys? No that is 100% incorrect. api keys and user api keys are two completely different things, see (which may need a bit of updating): [imagen] User API keys specification Integrations …

[imagen] skoota: If it must be hardcoded, a totally basic question for you - how can I get that into my production instance? I am not following your question at all, I linked to source code for the mobile app you are planning on re-branding… [imagen] skoota: Do I also need to hardcode in…

[imagen] sam: I am not following your question at all, I linked to source code for the mobile app you are planning on re-branding… Sorry, my bad. I have been looking at the Discourse source code all morning and I didn’t notice that was the mobile app. Makes far more sense now :slight_smile: O…

[imagen] skoota: to allow the Discourse admin to control/limit where pushes can be sent regardless of what an external app registered? Correct, that is the point, end users have only limited control over where push notifications go. This is required for security, cause a rogue app could then …

Thanks @sam . Appreciate your help :slight_smile:

@skoota Just stumbled upon this. I am trying to do something similar for our own discourse. Were you able to get push notifications working?

I’m also interested in that. Is it possible to set this notification at the same time as sending an email with this notification to the person concerned?
