Broadcast Notifications Backend

Please verify in the dev backend.

Test 1- let's do the following broadcast message: "Topcoder Bug Hunt now live. Join the hunt today!"
Recipient group: Members who have QA as a skill
Test 2- let's do the following broadcast message: "Mark you calendars, registration opens March 30 for next MM."
Recipient group: Members who are part of Competitive Programming track

Additional recipient groups may include:

• All public members
• Members in each of the following tracks- QA, Dev, Competitive Programming, Design
• Members with "X" skill (ie Node.js) in profile.

{
"topic": "admin.notification.broadcast",
"originator": "admin-app-postman",
"timestamp": "2020-02-26T11:32:08.214Z",
"mime-type": "application/json",
"payload": {
"message" : "Topcoder Bug Hunt now live. Join the hunt today!",
"recipients": {
"groups": [],
"skills" : ["qa"],
"tracks" : []
}
}
}
{
"topic": "admin.notification.broadcast",
"originator": "admin-app-postman",
"timestamp": "2020-02-26T11:34:08.214Z",
"mime-type": "application/json",
"payload": {
"message" : "Mark you calendars, registration opens March 30 for next MM.",
"recipients": {
"groups": [],
"skills" : [],
"tracks" : ["DATA_SCIENCE"]
}
}
}
I pushed the above messages as mentioned.

[sachin-maheshwari]

Please note - on DEV "QA" skill is not available. So for testing purpose I am pushing same message for "Node.js" skill to test it.
{
"topic": "admin.notification.broadcast",
"originator": "admin-app-postman",
"timestamp": "2020-02-26T11:34:08.214Z",
"mime-type": "application/json",
"payload": {
"message" : "Topcoder Bug Hunt now live. Join the hunt today!",
"recipients": {
"groups": [],
"skills" : ["Node.js"],
"tracks" : []
}
}
}

@luizrrodrigues , Will we be able to see this notification in the notifications popup on the front end?

@sachin-maheshwari @lakshmiathreya , How can we test if this notification is available to the target users?

[sachin-maheshwari]

@SathyaJayabal not sure if that will be able on community front-end pop-up or not.

You can find it in backend api response by using your JWT "user-token". For example - https://api.topcoder-dev.com/v5/notifications/list?read=false or https://api.topcoder-dev.com/v5/notifications/list?read=false&platform=community&per_page=2
Response would be like -
{
"items": [
{
"id": 106739,
"userId": 40153932,
"type": "admin.notification.broadcast",
"contents": {
"id": "6",
"group": "broadcast",
"title": "Broadcast Message",
"message": "message2 : This is new broadcast for 'Cognitive' group"
},
"read": false,
"seen": false,
"version": null,
"createdAt": "2020-02-20T12:07:56.132Z",
"updatedAt": "2020-02-20T12:07:56.132Z"
}.....

I think, need to incorporate the broadcast message structure in front-end.

[sachin-maheshwari]

Just further explaining the broadcast message design -
case #1 - "Topcoder Bug Hunt now live. Join the hunt today!"
Recipient group: Members who have QA as a skill

@Oanh-and-only-Oanh As per my interpretation on this - you want to send this message to all public QA member. correct ?
If yes, i designed the message like this -
{
"topic": "admin.notification.broadcast",
"originator": "admin-app-postman",
"timestamp": "2020-02-26T11:32:08.214Z",
"mime-type": "application/json",
"payload": {
"message" : "Topcoder Bug Hunt now live. Join the hunt today!",
"recipients": {
"groups": [],
"skills" : ["qa"],
"tracks" : []
}
}
}
So it'll send all public member only, not any private member.

For sending message to private/specific group, we need to mention in "groups" field as "," separated like - same message can be send for community member who is part of any group 'A' , 'B' or 'C'
{
"topic": "admin.notification.broadcast",
"originator": "admin-app-postman",
"timestamp": "2020-02-26T11:32:08.214Z",
"mime-type": "application/json",
"payload": {
"message" : "Topcoder Bug Hunt now live. Join the hunt today!",
"recipients": {
"groups": ["A", "B", "C"],
"skills" : ["qa"],
"tracks" : []
}
}
}

@sachin-maheshwari, correct to your question above.

[sachin-maheshwari]

@Oanh-and-only-Oanh I just want to confirm the definition of "public" member in our Topcoder system. As per me, public member will not belong any "private group". correct ?

[SathyaJayabal]

Verified the various tracks, groups and skills filter in dev backend.
