Question

I have successfully (and easily) added push notifications to my trigger.io application due to the supplied notification support and that Parse.com makes it a breeze. However, I can only broadcast without channels because when I use parse.push.subscribe(channel, ...) to try to subscribe to a channel I get this error:

error occurred: undefined:[unknown lineno]: ReferenceError: Can't find variable: parse

The trigger.io docs are not extensive around this. Anyone got it to work? Throw me some hints, please.

Our documentation was lacking here – thanks for highlighting it @PEZ!

The Parse methods in Trigger.io are available under forge.partners.parse, e.g.:

forge.partners.parse.push.subscribe("beta-testers",
function () {
  forge.logging.info("subscribed to beta-tester push notifications!");
},
function (err) {
  forge.logging.error("error subscribing to beta-tester notifications: "+
    JSON.stringify(err));
});

I’ve updated our docs with some examples.
