During our check-in call today with Dilpreet, we discussed a new feature that he'd like to potentially implement but he'd like the input from the community as it will utilize and leverage some of the existing functionalities that have already been built into the Apache Fineract platform.
As we discussed, just as one can generate both event-based or campaign-based messages that get delivered via SMS, we'd like to allow clients to receive via notifications via the app and the Android system on their phone, the same event-based and campaign-based messages. For event-based messages, we'd likely leverage the same web hooks that are in place and then simply deliver these via the app. We could also potentially leverage the notifications framework that was led by Adhyan. While these notifications are for staff, they are triggered by the same events that would trigger an in-app notification to a client (i.e. loan repayment receipt, loan being approved, loan being disbursed, etc.). For campaign-based messages, I assume the same templates and campaign scheduling mechanism could be utilized but simply the output that gets triggered would have to switch from an SMS to being a notification via the app. I welcome other community members to chime in on this discussion so they can help Dilpreet proceed forward.
