[NEW IDEA] Send a notification when a new owe is created.

preetjdp commented 4 years ago

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. This a very crucial feature for the entire product. When a new owe is created many side-effects should take place.

Describe the idea / solution you'd like They being as follows:

[x] If the user to whom the Owe is IssuedTo is present in the system and and has notifications enabled, send a notification to him.
[x] If the user has the app but does not have notifications enabled, send him an SMS with a deep/dynamic-link url courtesy of Firebase Dynamic Links with a relevant message.
[x] If the user is a first time user (not much details in the sys), then send him a introductory SMS with the ability to use the app directly from the web as a webApp.
[x] Add more WIP.
[ ] Send Actions with Notifications.

Additional context For all of this have to find something that is super cheap, like super cheap. Hey might might even consider using the whatsApp api 👀👀

If a user is first time user than they will have the app so, why would we send them sms we can send them notification 🤔

@SirusCodes

Let's say if you add an Owe ie. someone owes you or vice-versa, you need to add his/her name & ph.no (integral for this app.) to let the system know of the ongoing transaction until the person pays back.
So for the secondary user whose info was fed into the system by You, he/she might need to access the app to check the authenticity of the said/requested transaction or can be any other reason, this is best convenient through the web version of YouOweMe.
So response to your question, the system keeps a check if a user has surfaced the app at any point, if not -> SMS -> Web App.

Opened this issue back to work on Notification Actions. Tldr. They Don't work ==> https://github.com/MaikuB/flutter_local_notifications/issues/17

But on further investigation have found two branches of flutter_local_notifications that have support for notifications with actions. They are

https://github.com/MaikuB/flutter_local_notifications/pull/387

Your task should you choose to accept would be to check em out and make something valueable
