As with the order processor, we can do a small modification to the admin website to call the Notification/PostProductNews action when a new product is created, which will send push notifications to all customers. The procedure for this is pretty much the same, but here, I created a separate helper class to separate the logic from the controller:
private readonly MobileServiceClient _mobileService;
public Notifications()
{
var mobileServiceUrl = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["mobileServiceUrl"];
var mobileServiceKey = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["mobileServiceKey"];
this._mobileService = new MobileServiceClient(mobileServiceUrl, mobileServiceKey);
}
public async Task NotifyPostProductNews(int productId)
{
dynamic data = new ExpandoObject();
data.productId = productId;
await this._mobileService.InvokeApiAsync<object, dynamic>("Notification/PostProductNews", data);
}This method can be called by the ProductController.Create...
