Flutter App Inbox Messages

App Inbox is similar to an email inbox but is designed for direct messages from an app. As opposed to push notifications, it allows customers to keep promotions and browse a chronological list of messages at any time.

With the Reteno App Inbox, there is no default UI. This means with a few lines of code, you can connect Reteno with your inbox.

Note

App Inbox is available in version 1.7.0 and later.

Downloading New Messages

// If  `page`  or  `pageSize`  is not specified, then all messages will be returned
final messages = await Reteno.appInbox.getAppInboxMessages();

final messages = await Reteno.appInbox.getAppInboxMessages(
    page: 1,
    pageSize: 20,
);

The result is an instance of the AppInboxMessages class:

class AppInboxMessages {
  final List<AppInboxMessage> messages;
  final int totalPages;
  AppInboxMessages({required this.messages, required this.totalPages});
}

Reteno inbox message attributes:

class AppInboxMessage {
  final String id;
  final String title;
  final String createdDate;
  final bool isNewMessage;
  final String? content;
  final String? imageUrl;
  final String? linkUrl;
  final String? category;
}

Get Inbox Unread Messages Count

final count = await Reteno.appInbox.getAppInboxMessagesCount();

Subscribe on Inbox Unread Messages Count

Reteno.appInbox.onMessagesCountChanged.listen((count) {
    print(count);
});

StreamBuilder<int>(
    stream: Reteno.appInbox.onMessagesCountChanged,
    builder: (context, snapshot) {
    if (snapshot.hasData) {
        return Text(snapshot.data.toString());
    }
    return const SizedBox.shrink();
    },
),

Change Inbox Message Status on OPENED

Reteno.appInbox.markAsOpened(message.id);

Also you can change all inbox messages status via single method without providing messages ids.

Reteno.appInbox.markAllMessagesAsOpened();
