Hi,

In our application I created a scheduling app. Now I want to send a notification (not an email but an in app notification) to a user 5 minutes before an event starts. I don't see an easy way to do this. Any tips are much appreciated.

(I'm using the .net core version with jquery)

Regards, Robrecht

    @robrechtbelien , have you looked at background tasks to accomplish this? See https://aspnetboilerplate.com/Pages/Documents/Background-Jobs-And-Workers You can add a BackgroundJob at any time, you would just need to calculate offset from Clock.Now until the start of your event, minus 5 minutes. I am doing something similar in my app.

    Take a look at **Abp.BackgroundJobs.BackgroundJobManager, EnqueueAsync() method: **

    [UnitOfWork]
            public virtual async Task<string> EnqueueAsync<TJob, TArgs>(TArgs args, BackgroundJobPriority priority = BackgroundJobPriority.Normal, TimeSpan? delay = null)
                where TJob : IBackgroundJob<TArgs>
            {
                var jobInfo = new BackgroundJobInfo
                {
                    JobType = typeof(TJob).AssemblyQualifiedName,
                    JobArgs = args.ToJsonString(),
                    Priority = priority
                };
    
                if (delay.HasValue)
                {
                    jobInfo.NextTryTime = Clock.Now.Add(delay.Value);
                }
    
                await _store.InsertAsync(jobInfo);
                await CurrentUnitOfWork.SaveChangesAsync();
    
                return jobInfo.Id.ToString();
            }

    addition to @dnard82's answer: you can send notification inside your background job. see https://aspnetboilerplate.com/Pages/Documents/Notification-System
