Azure Mobile Services (push notifications)

Question

I'm moving my PNS from php to Azure Mobile services. In PHP i had to write a script to read some html page and push the messages to the registered devices every 10 minutes.

How can I do that using Azure Mobile Services?

Answer 1

I'm not sure if you're still looking for an answer, but Azure Mobile Services has added scheduled jobs in the latest release. As of right now, I think the quickest interval you can run background jobs every 15 minutes, and even then that's only when you are running your mobile service on a reserved instance.

Answer 2

At this moment you cannot write scheduled jobs (something which would run every X minutes) to run in Azure Mobile Services. I added this as a suggestion to the Azure Mobile Services UserVoice to be implemented.
