sending kik message with timer without calling the page

Question

I'm programming a calendar website. The reminder message should be sent using kik. Therefore I need to send a message even if the page is not actually called. Is there a possibility to do this, for example using a timer that is set when the date/event is put into the calendar from the user

thanks for your help

Answer 1

This is not possible. The Kik API is structured in a way that messages can only be sent with the user's explicit permission.

Push notifications are an alternative for your kind of use-case. Check out the documentation here: http://dev.kik.com/docs/#push
