Learn how to stay in sync with the latest data your end users generate across data sources.
Gandalf uses the Push approach where users actively send their data upon request, in contrast with the Pull method where developers might automatically retrieve data without ongoing user interaction.
Just as end-users remain logged into their favorite websites, Connect keeps their sessions active. They simply need to tap ‘Share’ to update their data, eliminating the need for repeated logins. Furthermore, subsequent data updates are significantly quicker since they involve much less data transfer.
Send push notifications to quickly initiate the Connect One-Tap Update flow, which prompts end-users to push recent data before redirecting them to your application.
To trigger Connect immediately a user taps a notification from your app, redirect to the Connect URL as soon as possible in your app’s notification response handler.
In the examples below, the Connect URL is generated server-side and sent within the push notification payload; however, this is not mandatory as the URL can also be constructed client-side.
In this scenario, the effectiveness of the push notification heavily depends on the content and clarity of its text.
In cases where triggering the Connect flow immediately isn’t extremely important, consider guiding users to a screen within your app that offers the option to start the Connect flow at their convenience.
This flow allows you to design your app’s interface to actively encourage users to update their data.
