Is it possible to get usernames from a parse database perhaps by using a query and then sending them an invite in the form of a push notification or email? I want to be able to invite users to edit something but I checked the documentation and can't seem to find anything that is strictly Parse. Everything I've found involves Facebook and/or Twitter.
As per my knowledge, there is no invite system in Parse. However, it shouldn't be too hard to implement.
You can query the Parse User table for all user id's that match the your need and send them push notifications using Advanced Targeting.
See this for android push notifications:

I'm building my first Teams app which will have two primary functions:
Proactively send a message to the channel (the bot is installed into) when a specific event occurs on my backend.
Members of the channel reacts to the message via actions.
I finally have a pretty good idea of how to set this up (I think) - but one part I'm missing is that in order to identify the specific app installation as belonging to one of my customers, I need to be able to allow the installing user to supply extra information like e.g. an API-key so that I can associate the specific channel with my specific customer.
Is there any way of doing this with a bot app? I've found examples for creating a configuration page, but they all seem to be associated with tab apps?
I could of cource have the bot ask the user for the information - but maybe there's a "cleaner" way?
Any examples or tutorials would be greatly appreciated as I find it rather hard to get stuff working using Microsoft's own examples etc. :)
Thanks a lot!
When you receive any message from the user, either by typing to your bot, or even installing it into a channel, group chat, or personal context (where you get the conversationUpdate event), you are able to get specific details off of the activity object. If the user sends a message, for instance, then the text property on the activity object will have a value. Incidentally, this is the same activity you will use to get the conversation details you need for the Proactive message.
With regards your question, the activity class also includes a tenantId property, hanging off the conversation property. This is the unique Microsoft 365 Id for the tenant, which would be what I'd suggest to uniquely identify them for your API, or licensing, or similar.
I want to give users the ability to get notifications via the facebook messenger. However, I don't really know how to get the fb_messenger_user_id from a user.
I can get a personalized ID for the chat if a user starts chatting with my bot, but with this, I can't really verify which user that is. Is there something I've overseen? Something like a button similar to the "login with facebook" button?
Also, as far as I understand the docs, I am only allowed to send messages in a time frame of 24h after the last message from the user.
Can someone tell me how to use the facebook notifications properly?
As a side note: I am planning to implement botman into my existing app. I don't know how much this affects the notifications.
I created a slack app with distribution (multiple clients)
and I subscribe to events several events like a message posted in a channel.
Beside the team_id field for identifying the client team - is there an ability to put my own key for a client?
Thank you.
No, Sack does not store any custom data for you. Its your job as an app developer to store all team related information for your app and link it to the Slack team_id. This is usually done with a database.
You can however include custom IDs with Slack requests, e.g. in the response you get from an interactive message. See this answer for more details on how this works.
I am trying to build a control that the user can use to send feedback to developer. I am using email as a delivery method and I leverage sendgrid email service for this. Now I want to know the users email address so I can respond back to the user's concern. I am not sure how to get the user's email in window 10. Any help or pointers please?
I would strongly recommend to use the sharing approach that has been introduced with Windows 8 - instead of writing and maintaining your own mail functionality and trying to access additional user data.
Have a look at the existing and built in e-mail functionalities. They make use of the user's connected mail accounts and the mail app. This way you don't need to worry about handling the message transmission or anything but rather hand the information over to the mail client. This way you also know how to reply back.
And as a bonus, the user can still access their message via the Sent Mails folder :)
There is a specific class for that, the EmailMessageClass (https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/windows.applicationmodel.email.emailmessage.aspx?cs-save-lang=1&cs-lang=csharp#code-snippet-1) as well as a dedicated guide with code example.

Essentially you can prepopulate the Mail fields with necessary app information where applicable. The user gets to choose which accounts he wants to send the mail from, but it will open in the mail client.
I am trying to figure out how to use sinch to build a basic group messaging app. It looks pretty simple but I have a few questions to help me understand the platform:
1) It seems like the platform doesn't support multiple conversations for one user. For example facebook messenger allows you to have many conversations with different people (different chats). But sinch only lets you send a message to a user with no conversation meta data. Or is it possible to send your message with meta data?
2)Do you manage users on the sinch platform? This means creating user objects and giving them id's etc or must this be done on another platform like parse?
3)How do you handle messaging logs? Like if I send a message to someone that's not logged in- how do I save it and also send them a push notification that a message was sent?
Thanks for the help everyone- the documentation is a bit dilute so I haven't been able to find answers to these questions yet :/.
You can send meta data with headers, to create your own meta data thing. But to be fair Sinch is more like multi recipient message than groups with channels.
No, we use delegated security
We will automatically deliver the message when the user logs on, we keep messages for 30 days for delivery.
