Notification implementation for slots availaibility. #299

Open Cosmonaut191 opened 3 years ago

Cosmonaut191 commented 3 years ago

Can anyone explain or have thoughts on how one can implement large scale notification for slot availibility. This has been done by organisations like paytm, healthifyme, airtel etc..

The problem with notification of slot availability is that, it helps no one. There will be a mad rush of 1000 people for 100 slots. Better idea would be to give a virtual token and open up slots based on the token for the given pincode

How are some running a telegram notification for all districts. Given that one can run only 100 api calls in 5 minutes. I am finding it difficult to run it for more than 6 distrcits. The slots just vanish in miliseconds. Can someone educate me? Are they using 20-30 IP addresses? And how?

Any Idea why there allowed to register slot for only the same day or the next day? I think its bad design of the application and its not solve the purpose of most of the user, 100 slots available against more than 1000 users. users have to check the slot continuously, and that too much time waste of many people. there is not meaning in this type of schedule, why I restricted to schedule the slot after 1 week or 2 weeks or even 1 month can be fine instead stick to screen.

7 day scheduling is possible as per their api. The root of all problem is lack of stock. I feel.
