Desktop Notification

Is it possible to implement Desktop Notification in Aras?

Scenario is.

If  user is doing workflow activity sign off. Once it is completed desktop notification (alternative to email notifications)  should display to next activity user without using refresh or redirect.

  • Hi Suhas,

    that´s a cool idea! I don´t know if standard Innovator right know offers us a ready to use push service worker for client events. I assume the InnovatorService will only support C# Methods. There are JS apis available for push functionality (e.g. Push API). However I am not familiar with these.

    Hi Angela, Hi Suhas,

    I think you've hit the nail on the head. While it would be possible to use the JavaScript API to send a push notification, this would only be possible while the user actively had a session open, and only based on actions the users themselves would run. The kind of service worker needed to handle this kind of event from the server to the client doesn't exist in Innovator at the moment.

    I agree that it is a cool idea though. I can add this to the Labs backlog of topics to investigate. If either of you want to take a crack at this yourself in the meantime, please feel free to respond back here with any progress or insights you find. :)
