Dear @Paul-Winterhalder
I am leaving another message because it has been over two weeks without a response to our previous inquiry.

I am reaching out again as the response through the forum has been significantly delayed. Since we are currently operating a live service using your platform, we are in desperate need of support regarding the matters we previously mentioned.

Could you please provide us with some guidance or any workarounds we can apply on our end to resolve this issue?

Hello brainCloud team,

We need to send localized Notification Template pushes to an ad-hoc list of profileIds, often thousands of users, provided by operations as a file.

This is not a pre-defined Segment or Group. We want to target only the profileIds in that file, while still using brainCloud Notification Templates for localization.

Is there currently a bulk API that sends a Rich/Template Push Notification to an arbitrary list of profileIds?

From the docs, we found single-user template push and group template push, plus raw/normalized batch push APIs, but we could not find a template/rich push batch API for arbitrary profileId lists.

If this is not currently supported:

Is it planned? What is the recommended workaround? How is billing counted if we call SendRichPushNotificationWithParams once per profileId from Cloud Code? Would any planned bulk API support substitutions and custom metadata/custom data?

Thanks!

Q1: The removed player is completely excluded from reward calculation, so if the deletion happens before the job runs, that player is never iterated over and receives no rank or rewards.
Q2: Yes, the modified score will be used. The job always reads live state. Note that whether the score actually gets modified depends on the leaderboard type (e.g., for the LOW_VALUE type, only updates if the new score is less than the existing)
Q3: No backfilling, the next joiner goes to the latest instance, not the freed spot in ^2. No loop over earlier instances (^1, ^2) ever happens. The next joiner goes to ^3 (or ^4 if ^3 is full). The freed spot in ^2 stays empty permanently.
