We're using Branch.io deep links.
We want to know when the user actually sends these deep links via Whatsapp.
Is there a way to know that?
Thanks!
Alex from Branch.io here: this feature isn't available directly. However, you should be able to get fairly close using our webhooks feature combined with custom events. Just set a custom event for when a user shares a link via Whatsapp, and then set a webhook to use that event as criteria.

On a React-Native mobile app, I need to access the contacts list, which is stored on the mobile device. The following 2 libraries provide this functionality. However, it seems that none of them provides information about which contacts have been updated (added/deleted/changed) recently.
Is there any library, which (1) provides some sort of notifications, which my app can subscribe to, to get updates about the contacts' list, or (2) provide a timestamp for when each contact was last updated?
I looked into the following libabries, but they do not seem to have this functionality.
Expo Contacts (https://docs.expo.io/versions/v35.0.0/sdk/contacts/)
React-Native-Contacts (https://github.com/rt2zz/react-native-contacts)
Your feedback is highly appreciated...
I saw this in the Expo Contact library : Notifications Expo Contact
You just need to add listener, and after u can sort by categories :
Notifications.addListener(listener)
Notifications.createCategoryAsync(name: string, actions: ActionType[])
it return an EventSubscription object , u can remove notifications by :
EventSubscription.remove()
Hope it will help,
If you need a easy way for notification, Firebase CLoud Messaging is the easiest way for configuring notification, and you can send global notification too by the firebase admin panel ,
This is not currently possible. If you want this feature please request it in the issue tracker and we can deliberate.
The library would have to expose an event the javascript can register a listener for.
I am completely new to branch.io. And I am trying to incorporate this into my project. I have a use case where a person will send an invite link using branch to attend a meeting. Also this link should be unique to the invitee. Once user receives a message with link he will click on the link and it should take him to a webpage(my own)/Deepview(branch.io), where he should be able to submit the form which will register him for the event. Once he finishes the registration, show him the page where there is a download app link.
So far I looked into branch.io documentation but i am confused what all features i should use. This is what i found so far. let me know if this is suitable for my use case or not.
For the first scenario of sending unique links i was thinking of using branch.io API as this is what their website suggests
Secondly on click of link taking user to some landing page. this is the part where i am very confused. I didn't find any article which says i can submit a form in Deepview. Or do i have to use my own webpage where user will submit the form and then get that information and send it to braze to create another Deeplink which will take user to app download page.
Please suggest me the features of branch.io, that I should use for my use-case
thank you for contacting Branch. You can create a unique Branch Link with the following ways based on your situation.
Use Quick Links or Ad Links from Branch Dashboard for fast link creation and easy tracking.
Use our App SDK to create and share links within your app.
Use our Web SDK to create links which help convert your web users to app users.
Use our HTTP API to programmatically create links from your server.
Use our Chrome Extension to generate links from your browser.
Also, you can set a different final destination (User landing page) in your Branch Link for your app based on your purpose. For example, you can make users who do not have your app in their device can land on either the App Store, Deepview (is a mobile web splash page, hosted by Branch), or specific webpage via your Branch Link according to your needs.
Please feel free to contact support#branch.io if you have any further questions. We are happy to help you.
I would like to create an automate who collects Notifications, those are into the clock icon at the top right, to make a summary at the end of the day through an email.
I was searching but I don't found anything: is existing an API who retrieved the notifications from Google Analytics ?
No there isn't. The only APIs available are listed below, none of them provide notifications information.
https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/reporting/core/
https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/reporting/embed/
https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/reporting/mcf/
https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/reporting/realtime/
https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/reporting/metadata/
https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/config/mgmt
An alternative is to create custom alerts with emails, then use tools like Zapier to process those emails in an automated fashion.
I see in https://developers.google.com/+/hangouts/button how one can use the API to start a hangouts. However, my use case is more similar to the calendar implementation in which you create an event, and you want to save a link to a hangouts in the meeting that people can join later when the event starts.
Is that possible with this or other API?
I found this post on getting Notified when a file changes on dropbox. The problem is that the "/delta" API endpoint requires polling. I want instead to subscribe to events about file changes.
Ideally, I could subscribe to both "new file" and "file updated" events for a specific folder. I could then give dropbox a URL pointing to my own app that would be called when those events occurred. This is similar to how Twilio works. You can provide a URL to be POSTed to whenever your phone number receives a text message, and then your app can respond to POSTs to that URL however it wants. This seems like a much more elegant solution than polling -- is there any way to do it with the dropbox API?
UPDATE 6/5/2014
We actually have webhooks now: https://www.dropbox.com/developers/webhooks
(original reply below)
No, Dropbox doesn't support this.
BTW, the general term for the sort of notification you describe is a "webhook."
http://developers.box.com/webhooks/
it seems like Box API has webhook. You may want to try it.
I received an email today regarding Dropbox WebHooks that is in the beta phase:

Dropbox now offers webhooks, although not with a event_type filter
