Play Notification #82

Closed pistiolasm closed 1 year ago

We would like to receive a sound/notification when a model becomes available. This way we do not have to keep looking at the application and instead let it run in the background.

Hm, sending local notifications when inventory is found in the background has been a feature of InventoryWatch for a long time - it's a marquee feature on the homepage:

InventoryWatch is an app for macOS that monitors local Apple Store inventory and notifies you when your preferred model comes in-stock.

Can you confirm that InventoryWatch has permission to send notifications (in your macOS system preferences), and that Notify only for preferred models in InventoryWatch settings is unchecked (or, if it is checked, that you have selected some preferred models)? If so, you should see notifications on your Mac when the app finds inventory.

Just to add on here, the notifications appear to work for me but they are driving me mad. I get a notification every minute telling me there's no products available. I'm thinking this should really only notify you WHEN there is something available.

I don't see an option to change this unless I'm totally missing something.

I checked and did not have notifications turned on. You can select to notify only on items you are tracking. I do not get notifications when something is not available! Thank you and you can close this request!

@pistiolasm nice! glad you got it sorted 👍

@grapeslush hmm try checking Notify only for preferred models:

That should change your notifications to only notify you when a preferred model is found nearby - that should stop any notifications when no inventory is found.

Hello, I am able to have alert notification banners, but I was hoping to be able to have Sounds play whenever there is an alert. Is it possible to do that?

torihiki123 commented 1 year ago

If anyone else wants to get notification sounds, I tried setting content.sound = UNNotificationSound.default in NotificationManager.sendNotification() and it worked.
