I need some help on how to connect https://rock.so/ to GCP for Monitoring, Alerts, and Notification Channel. It is an all-in-one communication and collaboration platform that have the same functionality with Slack.
The link below is the public API for rock.so.

The Twilio Console is confusing me. I can't seem to find a location where I can set the URL that my webhook is at for managing Opt Outs to my SMS campaigns.
I'm using a Messaging Service, and I'm on the Integration page settings of that service. Here's the screenshot:
I want to set it to “Drop the Message” (so I won’t be billed for incoming messages) – but now I want to understand how I can manage my opt-out requests. How/Where can I set which URL webhook they should go to?
Thanks for any help! :)
For Long Codes and Toll Free Numbers, the Opt-in/Opt-out is handled by Twilio.
Twilio support for opt-out keywords (SMS STOP filtering)
Or if you enabled Advanced Opt-out

I want to get generated registration token which generated by a client such as (Web JS, Android/IOS App...) via robot todo automation testing
I'm thinking to use mountebank to add JS SDK but not simple because related to grant notification permission issue (It's required to able to generate registration token)
Anybody have an idea to get that token via robot please share
Thanks in advance!!!
What is FCM?
Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM) is a cross-platform messaging solution that lets you reliably send messages at no cost.
Using FCM, you can notify a client app that new email or other data is available to sync. You can send notification messages to drive user re-engagement and retention. For use cases such as instant messaging, a message can transfer a payload of up to 4KB to a client app.

I'm working on react native push notifications. i'm looking for some answers before i make a purchase to any third party notification provider
Why do third party notifications providers such as OneSignal, Pusher & PubNub are based on Firebase Cloud Messaging?
Can't they send notifications independently without relying on Firebase. why pay more to third party providers when FCM does the work for free?
Firebase is a Brand of Services
First, Firebase is a brand that encompasses more than just 1 thing. For example, there is Firebase the realtime database, and there is FCM (Firebase Cloud Messaging) which is the current incarnation of GCM (Google Cloud Messaging) which came from the original product, C2DM (Cloud to Device Messaging).
PubNub and others are push gateway providers
Second, third party realtime messaging services are not push notification services, rather they offer push notification gateways to the push services: APNS for iOS and FCM for Android.
PubNub Realtime Messaging & Mobile Push Notifications
In PubNub's case (my employer), we provide a realtime messaging service (publish, subscribe and much more) and if you provide a valid APNS and/or FCM payload, we will not only deliver that realtime message to active subscribers, we will also send a mobile push notification to the devices that are properly registered for them on that channel you published the message to. This allows the message to be delivered when the app on the device is either not active (background) or not running and therefore, no active connection to PubNub unless it is running in a background service). Now you can have an active connection to PubNub in the background with proper implementation and permissions from the owner of the device (easier on Android than on iOS which also has a review process that rejects apps that don't qualify as valid background service apps).
For Your Consideration
If you did not use a service such as PubNub or one of the other realtime messaging vendors or a push notification specific service like Urban Airship, you would have to implement your own server-based push notification service which is possible but might be more work than you would expect especially if it needs to scale, be secure, robust, etc.
The real question you should ask is do you need realtime messaging in your app or just push notifications and to what level of scalability where it is worth paying a third party for all that goodness.
While reading through GCM documentation, I found the alert message from the site:
Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM) is the new version of GCM. It inherits
the reliable and scalable GCM infrastructure, plus new features! See
the FAQ to learn more. If you are integrating messaging in a new app,
start with FCM. GCM users are strongly recommended to upgrade to FCM,
in order to benefit from new FCM features today and in the future.
How does it affect to current running PubNub configuration when I upgrading to FCM? I'm still not sure if ugprading from GCM to FCM will be just a snap.
Upgrade to GCM
PubNub Mobile Push Gateway - GCM to FCM
FCM is mostly just a rebranding of GCM (GCM used to be called C2DM and this is similar transition). It appears the changes are primarily client side (easier to user SDKs). PubNub (and other GCM push providers) do not have to make any changes on the server side at this time.
As always, PubNub will continue to monitor updates to push notifications services like GCM and APNS and provide new features as needed.
Please contact PubNub Support if you have any issues using GCM/FCM with your PubNub enabled applications.
For more details about using GCM/APNS with PubNub, see these resources:

Mobile Push Notification Gateways, APNS, GCM, and Data Streams Explained (video)
How can I troubleshoot my push notification issues?
I don't think there will be any issue moving your client from GCM to FCM. A client that implements FCM can receive messages sent to GCM, it is the same infrastructure. If PubNub is sending messages through GCM then your FCM client be able to handle those messages.
Note that GCM is still being supported. So if you are concerned about PubNub's implementation then sticking with GCM is a valid option.
I need to use Google Cloud Messaging to send new news as push notifications for over 6000 users, but I need to know the estimated costs for that. Any help would be appreciated.
As stated in the GCM Overview doc:
Google Cloud Messaging (GCM) is a free service that enables developers to send messages between servers and client apps.
And if you're going to send push notifications to that number, all for the sole purpose of sending news updates, I suggest you look into GCM Topic Messaging.
Cheers! :D
