Hi @moondory77 ,

The work on this is running in our development environment. The Builder API support is in place - and we're currently looking at the possibility of adding it as a new tab in the Deployment screen of the Portal.

Hi,

Apologies for the slow response.

We don't have any calls that could directly handle a "file" of profileIds. We do have a few "toBatch" calls that are callable from S2S though - so you could probably have an offboard system make those calls - and call braincloud to send the notifications in batches.

Where are these profileIds coming from? An offboard analytics system of some sort?

To answer your questions:

We are planning a revamp of our notifications system and it's APIs. I'll add this conversation so that it will be considered as we're planning that. As mentioned above, using one of the "Batch" calls would make the most sense - and keep your API counts reasonable There's an API call to call the SendRichPushNotificationWithParams, plus a second api call for the sending the push notification itself. So that would be <numReceivers> x 2 for API costs. Less if called from within a script. But the *Batch() calls would be Substitutions and custom metadata/custom data - the current APIs don't - so you'd probably need to handle those client side. Are the substitutions highly personal - like player's name?

I hope that helps to clarify things,

Paul.

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.
