How can I register for notifications of new patches available for RunDeck via email (or any other means)?
You can use this RSS feed that notifies you of every new version. Here the website.

I created a function in azure functions that is triggered by http request.
Also I have a web app that used for clients to subscribe to my app.
My app and web app is written in .net.
My goal is to set a subscription button in the web app, so when the user subscribe it would allow me to get push notifications about new mail in his outlook inbox folder and send http requests to my azure function that includes the content of the newly received mail.
I read the doc about this API but couldnt understand it and what should I do to get my goal. Also I didn't find any examples for this.
How can I achieve my goal?
There are two options you can try for your scenario :
Option 1: you can create Function APP with Outlook connector and Microsoft flow ( you can listen for new emails using Office 365 API -> "When New Email arrives" and also can be posted the payload using http trigger function
Option 2:
Creating Push notification in your app when you received, you can push the payload to
Azure by a wehbook using Webjobs or Functions
Documentation Outlook REST API V2.0 : Push Notification
To play around with REST API use this URL :https://oauthplay.azurewebsites.net
good luck
One problem with our app was that it was published on Github, so the users have to actively check for a new update. Then it shook me, what if we send a notification (automatically) when releasing a new version of the app? But it was a lot complicated than what I expected. I would like to do this via our apps website.
You need to setup a webhook associated to a release event.
The URL of that webhook must reference a server you control, and on which you have installed dgryski/ghpbhook
This is a endpoint for github and bitbucket post-receive webhook notifications.
It uses PushBullet to send a summary of the commits to your Android device.
You need to adapt that project in order to decode a release payload (instead of a commit payload).
But it gives you an idea of:
how to listen for the webhook JSON payload
how to send a notification through PushBullet
How to use 'test send' tile/option in the Azure Notification hub. Where to add the Registration ID/ Token ID in the Portal. How to use it. Please suggest me some articles on this. Here is the exact picture
I just started using Notification hub. I don't prior experience on push notifications or azure notification service.
When you register device on azure push notification service - it creates new entity on its notification hub.
This entity has 3 main fields: registrationId, deviceTokens and tags.
Test send works with tokens. Tokens are just like tags in Instagram or Stackoverflow. You can pass there something like user name and send on all user devices by one send.
Also you can pass device token in tag, or regId. So you can test send test notification on selected device.
P.S. Best way to work with azure services: Visual Studio. You can connect your azure hub, watch the list of your registered devices (regId, deviceToken, tokens and expiration dates(you can not do it in azure console)) (also you can use test send by VS)
I've created an app that displays an RSS feed.
I wonder if it is possible to get a notification when a new rss update.
Do I have to use push notification? (have heard that it is difficult)
Yes, push notifications are the way to go. It's not that complicated but you need some infrastructure on your side.
You'll need a server with a database that stores all the push notification recipients.
If you only have one hardcoded RSS feed just send a notification to all your clients if a new item is available.
If one can add own feeds to the app you need a database which saves the subscribed feeds for each push notification recipient. Then you have to check for new feed entries and send out notifications to the devices that are subscribed to that feed.
There are plenty of tutorials for push notifications out there. Both server and client side.
depending on the user base of your app, urbanairship.com is probably the easiest way to implement push in your app. With them they handle all server side pushes and you can send a million free push notifications a month.
So if you add their codebase to you app, you can send 200000 users upto 5 notifications a monthm each.
we have a web application that has a built-in appointment/scheduler feature for our clients. how can i create a web service that users can register in their iPhone to hookup/sync with their schedule/appointments?
I appreciate all comments. thanks.
You can use APNS for this purpose, whenever a new appointment is scheduled you will send a notification to your iPhone app to sync the latest data using the same web service that is used earlier to fetch data.
