How to get Notification ID after using NotificationSend?

Runtime Framework
1

I’m working with server-side notifications using the Go runtime, and I noticed that:

  • NotificationsDeleteId and NotificationsUpdate both require a notification_id
  • However, the NotificationSend function does not return the notification ID that was generated

Use Case:

From the server, I want to send a notification to a specific user but Later if there is any mistake or for some reason, from another server process, I may want to update or delete that same notification — but I have no way to retrieve the notification_id.

What is the recommended way to:

  1. Get the notification_id after sending?
  2. Update or delete a previously sent notification from server-side logic?

Hello @surajTLabs,

You’d need to use NotificationsList to go through a user’s notifications and get the id of the latest or by filtering by content, or some other criteria. We’ll consider returning the id on notificationSend.

Best.

Thanks! Yes, this approach works well for a limited number of users.
However, consider a case where we have around 5,000 users in-game and notifications have already been sent to all — managing updates or deletions becomes quite challenging.

  1. How can we efficiently retrieve a complete list of all users?
  2. When fetching the latest notifications, we should also include filtering logic to ensure only relevant notifications are read, especially to avoid edge cases.

Is there a mechanism similar to NotificationSendAll that would allow us to update or delete previously sent notifications?

and yes it will need notification id for sure!
