I am looking for a solution where I need my bot to send notifications to all the users that have interacted with the bot before. This should happen on time demand, for example I would like to send notification only for alternate Friday at 5pm CDT.
I have trie the sample 16.proactive-messages but the the notification trigger is based on a controller so we have to send explicit request to http://localhost:3978/api/notify to proactively message users from the bot.
I am using bot builder Nodejs sdk 4.x to build the bot.
I would like notifications to go on demand based on the set time and date.
The fastest way to meet your requirement is following the official sample that you tried. To send a notification to uses, you should send a request to api/notify endpoint.
You can create a scheduled webjobs to send this request to your bot so that your bot will send notifications to your users.
Hope it helps.
