Push Notifications

Frappe HR
,

Hi there, I have self-hosted frappe and erpnext instance running on an Ubuntu VPS.
I also have the Frappe HR Mobile Application. I have followed all instructions on push notifications on the following screen and website.

Push Notification (frappe.io)

I appreciate it seems this is aimed at Frappe Cloud but what about self hosting?
v15 onwards, all sites hosted on Frappe Cloud can enable Push Notifications for the mobile app.

If you turn on Enable Push Notification Relay you get the following message:

Relay Server URL missing

The Push Relay Server URL key (push_relay_server_url) is missing in your site config

If you go to your site_config.json and add this parameter push_relay_server_url and following the firebase FMC set up you can get some configure details

https://firebase.google.com/docs/cloud-messaging/server#auth

But the API Key/Secret relates to a previous version of this tool and so you are left with other configure options.

  1. Has anyone managed to get this working on their own server (not local) and if so how?

  2. Why is this so hard? and shouldnlt it just be the same configure for self service?

Hi @benjamen:

As far I know, this only works on Frappe Cloud sites … It needs a server, running a relay app for Firebase service, etc … Repository is not public yet. Maybe by the first days of October we will know something else … :wink:

Hope this helps.

Hitting the same problem on my self hosted PWA.
Why not using mozilla push servers?

I tried enabling Push Notifications in a self-hosted Frappe and ERPNext instance. However, when I enable Push Notifications in the HRMS mobile app, I get an error: “Cannot read properties of null (reading ‘vapidKey’).”

I had created Push Notification functionality which works on self hosted environment as well. Let me know if I can help you with.

I Notice the following Apps, and i am confused

tridz-dev/frappe_notifier

tridz-dev/erpnext_fcm: Firebase Cloud Messaging integration for sending notification created in ERPNext/Frappe to users as push notification.

and also,

All these Apps confuse me, and t=do they relate to the Push notification System, i need some clarity kindly.

Can I use this Frappe Cloud site? If yes, then how to configure into erpnext mobile application, which is available on the Play Store?

@compgeniuses
Frappe notifier app is for push notifications which is working in Raven, Frappe HR by default.

Erpnext_fcm was an old implementation which is depreciated.

Frappe Messenger is not related to Push notifications, it is an app for Meta messaging - Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp

Thank you, that answers alot of questions,

WHy then though, does raven require a seprate push notification server, if as you say, frappe notifier is by default available, and i have to choose either frappe cloud or raenchat cloud?

Raven’s use case is very different from other apps - push notifications are critical for a chat app. Plus we didn’t have a lot of control over the Frappe push notification app, and it was easier to build our own service. It’s free to use though.
