Can custom webhook in Parse send push notification to ios app?

Question

I am working with an api which has a webhook with a callback url, such that when a certain event occurs, it uses an HTTP POST request with whatever URL I want. Can a Parse webhook be used, such that the POST request URL can talk to Parse and tell it to send a push notification to a particular iOS device?

Answer 1

Yes, absolutely. You can define a custom route that accepts POST data and then sends push (or does any other Parse functions.)
