Project Update: Real-Time Communication and Enhanced User Interaction!

We’re excited to share the latest update on our project, featuring a significant enhancement in real-time communication capabilities. Now, administrators and backend integrations can seamlessly send messages to users who have opened specific records. This means that when there’s a change in the record status (e.g., case completion, modification), users will receive instant notifications prompting them to update their page for the latest changes. 

This feature not only streamlines communication but also serves as a handy tool for various onboarding processes. Additionally, it facilitates users in understanding what has changed post the deployment of a new release. 

Behind the scenes, we’ve implemented Clippy PCF, built upon the ClippyJs project, to empower this real-time communication. Leveraging the power of socket.io hosted on Azure, our solution ensures swift and efficient message delivery. 

Moreover, the backbone of the real-time communication lies in Azure Functions, written in Node.js. These functions diligently send out notifications to the socket.io instance hosted on Azure, creating a seamless and responsive user experience. 

Exciting times lie ahead as we continue to innovate and refine our project to meet the evolving needs of our users. Stay tuned for more updates, and thank you for being a part of our journey!

Business scenario

It supports real-time communication. So, Administrator or backend integration can send the message to the user that has opened the record. For instance: backend integration changed the status of the record (case has been completed, changed, etc..), all user that has opened record will receive the notification that they need to update the page to receive the lates changes.
