Hello,
I have a process that allows my users to upload documents on sharepoint.
I would like to have a group of users to be notified on their smartphone every time a document is uploaded (push notification).
I except to have the same behaviour that the user input task component (email and push notification) behaviour without it to be a task because, if one of the user accept the task, the other can't see anymore the task.
With other words, I would like a component or a trick to do message push notifications.
Is it possible ?
Thank you

Currently (AFAIK) you cannot send Mobile Push messages without assigning a Task to a User. But you could use this existing pattern anyway: just assign a Task to EVERY individual that you want notified. Each User will get a Task and, associated with that, assuming they're set up to receive Push notifications, a Push message as well. If you're not interested in the Task for the Users you can simply put a timeout on the Task to kill it off after, say, 5 minutes.
Could you also try News? I believe even if you are using Sites, you could still send a news post associated with a record (which would then show as a push notification).
Thank you Stewart for your answer.
I certainly missconfigured the user input task because I received 4 emails (as much as the number of the user of the group).
In the Other tab of the component, I checked Run one instance for each assignee.
In the Assignment tab, it is assign to a process variable which type is Group and it is filled with a constant.
Did I miss something ?
Hello Peter,
Unfortunely, we do not use News or Tempo. We use only the site part of Appian.
I think you need to check this box as well:
Indeed !
