Our application successfully sends app to user notifications until today.  Today we still get the "posted" response so it looks like everything is fine but the notification doesnt show up in the user's notification box.  It will show only occassionally.  Looks like MySpace is doing something to cut down on "spam"?  Is this correct and what rules are being used?

We are always actively fighting spam; 

The rules are:

1. a notification will only be stored for 7 days
2. only the last 5 notifications are stored

 

We are currently working on some optimalization. The feature is a bit more popular than anticipated, and we are getting A LOT of the notifications.

Once we have the system happy we will also show an indicator to the user that (s)he has a new notification.

 The problem I am still seeing today is that not all the notifications show up in the user's Notification inbox.  It seems some are not being delivered even though the return code when posted them via. REST are all "posted".

When you send multiple notifications you will receive a 'posted' 201 back when at least one succeeds. Users can unselect 'Receive notifications from this app' or can block all communication from your app. You do not get feedback from us when one or more recipients do not want to receive your notification.

Marco,

I'm seeing the same thing, where the REST calls are returing success but the notifications are not being sent.  In fact I had one batch the was sent at 5:30 PM yesterday and I received in my inbox at 1:44 AM today.   I cannot verify if the others were delivered.  There were a number notifications total -- all sent in batches.

Thanks,
Tom

Unfortunately some apps were sending notifications to arbitrary users (this is also known as spam). This caused some queueing in the system. These app have been muted (not allowing any communications with any of the users) 

We've made some improvements in our code to better handle this in the future, but that has not rolled into production yet. So we are temporary working with a delay. But all notifications do get delivered.

Note that end users can block your app from receiving your notifications. So use this communication channel appropriate.

Note 2: Activity events are now also showing to all users. 

I'm getting this response when I send notifications, but never arrives.

{"postnotificationstatus":"posted"}

Federico,

Can you let meknow yor application and how I can raise one notification. I can investigate what the issue might be.

One thing I noticed that sometimes notifications are raised with invalid html. (E.g. forget a closing tag..)

Marco

 

 

i have developed application in asp.net using oAuth and also open Auth.(RestV1)

i am getting all data from MySpace but can't send notification to friends.

i am usingcode

myspaceClient.SendNotification(490747817, recipients, "Hello MySpaceDemo From Biraj (TechSture Tech)", MySpaceID.SDK.Config.NotificationSurface.AppProfile, "button AppData", MySpaceID.SDK.Config.NotificationSurface.AppProfile, "Button AppData", null);            

is it right?           

how i can send notification to friends using open auth or oAuth.

Thanks for reading mt issue

 

 

Hey, Even we are seeing the same problem I post using the OAuth Testing Tool and it returns with "{"postnotificationstatus":"posted"}" but never see it in the User's Notifications. I tried this both from my app and from the Myspace tool and both return success but nothing on the User's page. Can you please help. Thanks Nikhil Here are more details POST /v1/applications/114748/notifications

Hey There,

Is there anyone who can look into the problem and let me know what could be wrong.

Thanks

 

Hi Macro,

 When i was trying to send test notifications via test tool, without any mediaItems it works fine. But When i was trying with mediaItems I am getting the response as {"statusCode":"400","statusDescription":"mediaItems parameter is invalid."}. Even if i tried by changing the userid alone in the sample, which is given in "http://wiki.developer.myspace.com/index.php?title=POST_v1_applications_applicationId_notification" it is not working. 

  Please look into the issue and let me know what could be wrong. 

 Thanks in advance...

 Ganapathy,

I'll look into it. Can you tell me what the values you passed to the mediaItems variable. Did you use the logical reference to media items?

BTW: Please open new threads for different issues. Makes it easier for me to track. 

Thanks,

Marco

 Hi,

 Today I tried sending the mediaItems in the notifcation via OAUTH TEST tool. It worked fine. But, When I tried sending a normal notification via my application code, I am getting timed out error. Please have a look at the below code and let me know what is wrong with the code.

public function sendAppNotifications($receivers,$returnType='array')
    {
        try{
            $resource_uri = '/v1/applications/112316/notifications';
            $parameters['recipients']='402246408';
            $parameters['templateParameters']='{"content":"Notification Content Goes Here","button0_surface":"canvas","button0_label":"Go To Canvas", "button1_surface":"appProfile","button1_label":"Go To App Profile"}';
            $resource_signed_request = $this->getSignedRequestUri($resource_uri,NULL,"POST");
            $rest = new restClient();
            $rest->createRequest($resource_signed_request,"POST",$parameters);
            $rest->sendRequest();
            $res = $rest->getResponse();
            if ($returnType == 'xml'){
                return $res;
            }else{
                $xmlparser = new xml2Array();
                $outputarray= $xmlparser->parse($res);   
                return $outputarray;
            }
        }catch (Exception $e){
            throw new Exception($e->getMessage());
        }

    }

Thanks in advance,

 M.S.M.Ganapathy
