</div>

it is a basically notfication app , this app will send positive messages to user at regular basis. when will user said “çalıştır” at screen 6 (that means run) app will be closed , and notification system will work.

Thunkers this is my apps logic.

Can someone show me the path that i should follow ?  
do i need to publish app first , if can someone guide me that would be so cool.

[This](https://documentation.onesignal.com/reference/create-notification#delivery) link will take you to the OneSignal API documentation. The only way to send scheduled messsages at this time using thunkable is to use the API connector and schedule the message manually.

Probably not but Integromat makes things easier sometimes. I think in this case, you’d want to send recurring messages at certain times to certain people.

You’d likely want to hook up an AirTable or google sheet. when a user decides “i want to receive reminder X at 5:55PM every day” you’d enter their info into the AirTable. email, OneSignal ID, days of week to receive a reminder, and the time of day.

then you could have Integromat check it daily, line by line and if there is as message scheduled to be sent that day of the week, you’d also grab the time of day let Integromat schedule the message.

zapier might be a good use case here too

Hmm… that, i’m not sure of. I know OneSignal offers scheduled daily messaging, but i’m not sure you can send custom messages every half hour.

you would create what they call user segments., then you create automated messages for every 1/2 hour and apply that auto message to the particular segment.

then you’d use the api to add or remove a user from that segment.

at least that’s how it works in my mind.

If you ask your users to register for free to **IFTTT** and provide the user name to your app then you can send messages to each user using the **Applet** you create in IFTTT.

@jared i think i might need a new aproach , can i set my notifications at certain times like 12.00 AM , 15.00 PM , 18 PM .

EDIT : @jared by using OneSignal , now i want to set up my noticiations every hour and between 12.AM and 21.00 PM is it doable ? @muneer can you look at it too 😃

Yes and No.

It works but only in published apps. Also there was an issue that you need to publish the app first without OneSignal and then make an update that has OneSignal. I do not know it is fixed now but thought of mentioning it.

If you use `OneSignal` then you can do it all in the app but you need to test it for scheduled notification. I have never tried it.

The bad side of it that `OneSignal` identifies the user by the device (you can do different identification but I never tried it) so if someone uses say, iPhone and iPad, this is counted as 2 users (In `OneSignal` terms, 2 `Player IDs`)

In the other hand, IFTTT uses registration so you can ask the user, as part of the profile, to provide the email address used in IFTTT and then you can send the notification in multiple devices at the same time with just one command.

The bad side is that users has to register in this app and in some cases al need to install it in their phones.

Hope this answers your inquiry.

OneSignal console provides different keys for Android and iOS. You need to test what type of OS the user is using and provide the correct key.

You can use this
