Add support for Azure Notification Hubs to push messages to web browsers
Azure Notification Hubs should be able to deliver messages to users via web browsers.
This should be done through lightweight javascript. The script should be cross browser compatible with desktop, mobile and legacy browsers.
Basically this would replace the need for hosting SignalR unless you're building something like a chatroom.
774 votesPush to web is on our roadmap and we will update once we have a more concrete ETA.

Add webhooks to Azure Notification Hubs
Add the ability for Notification hubs to call an endpoint when an event has occurred on a push notification (push delivered, failed ...etc)
96 votesFor the notification related events, we can only report if the message was successfully sent to the respective provider’s PNS. The actual delivery of the message is handled by the PNS and we don’t have any direct visibility in this. Where we can add some hooks are instances where maybe the registration expires etc. Let me know if there are any other places you will find this useful.

Add ability to move NotificationHub from one namespace to another within the same subscription id
According to this answer in the forums:
https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/azure/en-US/08a3ffc8-dbf3-4212-8533-d639371e2016/moving-notification-hub-from-one-namespaces-to-another?forum=notificationhubs&prof=requiredIt requires contacting support in order to move notification hub between namespaces (sometimes one app get's bigger audience and it's necessary to move it to different pricing namespace e.g. from Basic to Standard)
69 votesWith the new billing model – http://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/pricing/details/notification-hubs/ this will be a valid request. We will look into this.

Bulk tagging of installations
When we need to add a tag for a set of installations, we currently need to perform a request to Azure Notification Hubs for each installation.
This results in very poor performance, ruining one of the main advantages of Notification Hubs: massive scalability.
It is to be expected that many many uses of tags will involve applying tags on installations dynamically in response to business events in the app. Since this may affect as many users as we would later want to send notifications to, it follows that we should have an efficient way to apply tags to many installations…
55 votesThanks for reaching out! We agree that this is an important task customers will need to be able to do. We are working on improving installations and will keep this on our list as we move forward. I will update once we have any ETA/have started working on this item.

Get Installation and Delete Installation By Tags, By PushChannel
I think azure must provide api to get installation record by Tags and PushChannel.
Also Delete api by tags and PushChannel
44 votesWe want to provide get installations by tags, and I’d love to understand more about your scenarios around delete installations by tags and get/delete by push channel if you don’t mind sending me an email at yuaxu@microsoft.com. Thanks!

Notification hub - Better way of analytic for push notifications send using Azure
Notification hub currently provides a way to send PN across all plateforms but the analytic provided is not very usable and real time.
34 votesWe are looking into E2E telemetry and providing better analytics for our customers.

Allow Global Templates
As I understand it, templates are only held at a specific user registration level.
For our (enterprise) app this makes life difficult, as I now need to register a large number of templates to a large number of registrations, and worse keep this in sync as templates are changed.It would work better in our scenario to have 'global' templates ready in the hub (referenced by name), then send a message to whatever tags, specifying the template desired.
Under this scenario we would handle any personalisation via the back end app - using either tags or other means (I'm either…
33 votesWe are working on a design for global templates.

Add the ability to read certificate (APNS) from Key Vaults
Instead of uploading a certificate to the notification hub (Scattering certificate management across many resources). Having certificates consolidated in a Key Vault makes it easier to manage certificates and makes expiring certificates less common.
We rely heavily on Key Vaults, for managing our domains SSL certificates, to Azure Service Fabric Cluster Certificate and others. Having the APNs Certificate there provides a one stop shop for all certificates on the portal.
24 votesWe agree that this would be useful, but we’ve not heard a lot of customers ask for it.

Create flutter package for NotificationHub
Please consider adding a flutter package to easily add support for notification hub in flutter apps.
14 votesWe’d love to do this, but we’ve only had a few people ask for this. We’re going to keep our eye on this one for future review. I may actually try to do this on my own as an experiment. Stay tuned.

Make Notification Hub as simple as Firebase from google
I think you know that we have products addressing the same problem as we are. but they do it simpler than we are. For example Firebase code required from dev- much less than Notification Hub.
https://developers.google.com/cloud-messaging/faq"You no longer have to write your own registration or subscription retry logic. " - why we can't do something simple like that!
Recently when we discussed with customer usage of notification hub and I can't explain why they should use it instead of firebase after feature comparison
12 votesWe agree and want to make things as easy as possible for you.

Azure Notification hub Monitoring via Azure Portal and from Azure Log Analytics
Generally we have an option to monitor Azure PaaS components via Azure portal (ie, Dashboards, alert notify) and from OMS portal.
But Azure Notification hub doesn't have capability in ARM portal for Monitoring it. But it as in Classic Portal.
Please advice whether we can monitor Notification hub from ARM Portal and from OMS? Is it available in ARM?

Need HA or DR feature for Azure Notification Hubs
I am opening this feedback on behalf of our customer.
Our customer would like to find a way to have multiple Notification Hub instances in separate regions to shield them from the outages.
They currently rely on Notification Hub for their service to provide mission-critical notifications.
Are there any plans or road-map for High Availability or Disaster recovery features or anything similar for Notification hubs.8 votesNothing planned today, but it is something we would like to see added.

cli support notification hub
Support creating and managing Notification Hubs from the CLI. Not everybody uses powershell...
Please make Azure-CLI a first class citizen to manage resources...

Provide browse, query for handle/tag registrations in Portal
It would be good to provide browse/query explorer for registered devices/handles and tags in Portal.
The interface might be similar to DocumentDB document/query explorers in Portal.
6 votesNo plans to add this today. You can export the data and query all you need.

Simple android NH client lib
It will be good, if there is any simple android NH client lib like azure blob storage android interface.

Add integration with unity apps
I'd like to use Notification Hubs with FCM and APNs to push notifications to a unity app. It would be useful to have a tutorial for this and/or a unity plugin which does the job.

Send push even if APNS certificate expired error occurred
Today, our service had a problem that Template push notification was not working.
The push service in server did not throw exception so only NH debug mode helped to investigate the error. The cause was "Apns certificate expired"
It seems that NH validates all push notification providers' availability in template mode. It could make serious service blockage as today.
What I suggest is;
1. Send push to other validated notification provider
- or -
2. Show error message when such error is occurred. In Monitor tab, there was no error count and only "0 message sent" is displayed in chart.4 votes -
incorrect hints when sending test message on TestSend blade
We have devices register as GCM template device. When we send native message on TestSend blade, it show 'Successfully send test message'. It is not correct, it should tell me the sending failed, please use 'Custom Template' to send message.

Notification Hub debugging system like Onesignal
Hello, sorry for my english.
We use several applications with notifications, some with OneSignal and others with Azure Notification Hub.
With OneSignal, it's easy to test a specific device, run a test campaign and manage everything. See if people have disabled notification, application version, etc. etc.
Make debugging easier. Manage the certificate easily with a lot of documentation.In Azure, it's really very hard and boring.
It is very difficult to send a notification test to a specific device. We are not sure to send 30 000 devices a test notification, etc.
The monitoring system is not really useful, because…3 votesThank you for this feedback. We’ve been working on our documentation and recently refreshed the SDKs and sample apps.
We’re working on some usability items as well, stay tuned.
