It must be super essy-How do I subscribe one of my users to a topic from the dashboard.

- Messaging
I am trying to get into the messaging functionality. However I am trying to manually subscribe one of my users to a topic but it seems it does not allow me. The permissions is set to “any”.
If someone could give me a clue on what targets are and what di they mean it would really help me. I have read the documentatiok but I still feel a bit lost
You read this already?
Absolutely
But how could I apply this to a group chat?
You need to add the target. Did you create targets for the users?
I think I missunderstood the concept from the beggining
This is a way to communicate app with user right? It is not like an in-app chat functionality
Am I right? @Steven
what is messaging? It's a way to send messages (SMS, email, or push notifications) to a user
Okay, but not a real time database to send messages between users. To implement so I should use Real Time Databases. Am I right on this take?
yes
for the most part
you can use push notifications to allow users to get notified of new messages
especially when an app is in the background
Thanks @Steven Do u know a way to listen to new events like a socket? Somehow I have only managed to update the values every certain time.
Okay, I am understanding it
our realtime uses websockets and an event should come through for create, update, or delete
And when the app is running on the background or even closed then I should recur to hooks and messages. Is it right?
