Pros and Cons


SolutionProsCons
1Simple logic not too many conditions for calculating date.While setting passing the values we've to calculate the number of occurrences based on when and how long we want to continue the notification.
2Has just have to pass the values it'll automatically calculate the occurrences and stop if required.Logic will be complex and have to take care of each every value which needs to be passed.


Using In App Notification Payload

After the discussion, we'll be using the same payload structure as described in In App Notification.

Code Block
{
"id": 114, // id of the notification will be integer, which will be unique
"type": 1, // Notification type will be integer - Their can different notification types, like DOWNTIME, GREETINGS, NON-DISPLAY and OTHERS
"data":{ // action data contains all the information related to type of the notification, start, msg, notification title
	start: '2019/05/20 19:00' // first triggered on specified date, and onwards weekly
	interval: 'week'
	translations: {
		"en": {
			"title": "Title text",
			"msg": "Descriptive message"
		},
		"default" : { // any default language, if language translation not available then to be used
			"title": "Title text",
			"msg": "Descriptive message"
		}
	}
}
}
