Configuring Push Notifications

In order to recieve Push Notifications in the PWA when you send emails from Outlook, the application's backend needs to be available to the outside world, so Microsoft Graph can invoke the listening endpoint in the NotificationsController.

  1. Create a Windows App registration in the Windows Dev Center (You'll need to register for a Windows Developer account).

  2. Create a Notification Hub in Azure (more information).

  3. Configure the Notification Hub with Windows Native Notifications (WNS), using the PackageSID + Secret from your Windows App registration in the Windows Dev Center (more information).

  4. Open appsettings.json and update the HubConnectionString and HubName settings.

  5. Either deploy the application or expose your http://localhost:5000/ using ngrok to the outside world.

  6. When using ngrok, update the ClientApp/services/config.ts with the https url provided by ngrok. E.g.:

    export const BackendBaseUrl: string = 'https://XXXXX.ngrok.io'

  7. Update the APPX Manifest with the Package Indentity Name and Publisher Identity:

    From: <Identity Name="INSERT-YOUR-PACKAGE-IDENTITY-NAME-HERE" Publisher="CN=INSERT-YOUR-PACKAGE-IDENTITY-PUBLISHER-HERE" Version="1.0.0.0" ProcessorArchitecture="neutral"/>

    To: <Identity Name="12836YourPublisherName.BUILD2018DEMO" Publisher="CN=XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXX" Version="1.0.0.0" ProcessorArchitecture="neutral"/>

  8. Re-install your PWA using the steps above, Installing the PWA in Windows 10.

  9. Open the PWA and login.

  10. (Recommended) Install the Microsoft Edge DevTools Preview to debug and see errors in the Microsoft Graph API Subscription requests. Press F12 once the tools are installed and the PWA opened.
