Wow. That was fast. Thanks for the addition.

If I may, I would use “Player id” instead of only id so it can be clear that it is not the push token. Also, the Rest API referes to “player id”, so it became seamless to understand that the docs and the panel are the same id.

Good to know about the tag. I was afraid that the tag could have some upper limit quantity.

Until now, really enjoying the platform. Congrats.

Amazing! Thanks once again for this super fast turnaround. Could you kindly expan on how we can send a message to one person using the new ID? I looked at segmentation but could not see a way to factor in the ID (user id / player id etc). Maybe I missed what is right in front of me. Thanks much!!!

For now the API is the most direct way to do it. But there are a bunch of ways, some of which may make more sense for you than others:

  1. Our API: https://docs.gamethrive.apiary.io

  2. Create two GameThrive apps, and have your users be separated between them. This is the best option if you want to debug messages or preview them before sending them to a wider audience.

  3. Tag the user and then create a segment with a filter matching that tag.

  4. Create a segment with filters that only match that user (For instance, by first session time)

I’m thinking about your customer support use-case and I’m not sure having a button to send a message from the user list would be a good feature yet.

The main problem is that the user list could become extremely long, so finding the right person to send a message to could be difficult. This might make more sense once we have time to improve the user list with better search and filter options.

I agree. Based on all the info provided, the customer support case can be made using tags (the users click inside the app to request customer support and so you create a unique tag and tag that user and send the tag to you).

I my recent app, I need to send Push messages to individual users as I approve the photos that they sent to my server in a one-by-one case. So, I will be linking my approval system to the Rest API.

Great!!! Thanks for the clarification and ideas on support system. Very nice! Renato, curious about your app. I’m working on something similar. Maybe we can collaborate. Lets chat offline.
