Sending Web Application Notifications

Notifications are sent when some CRUD operation is performed. By using the Notifications feature, you can send notifications to users using the same application.

Example:

Suppose 3 users are working on the same task, creating a resource. When a resource is created by user 1, users 2 and 3 should be notified.

Steps:

1. Create a JavaScript that calls the CreateNotification API.

   Sample JavaScript:

   context.log("creating notification for input: " + input);

   var result;

   if (input.actionName == "insert") {

   var createNotification = context.getApi("CreateNotification");

   createNotification.input = input;

   createNotification.execute();

   }

2. Apply this JavaScript as a Post Persistence API to the Resource Entity.

   Navigate to:

   Resource Entity > Properties Panel > Persistence > Post Persistence API Name

3. Save the entity.

When the web application is running and a new resource is added, notifications are sent to the other users.
