Messaging specific players

Hello, I am getting started with Playfab and would like to know if it is already possible to do this:


- The player have an feed of messages received. These messages don't need to be realtime, but they are specific for each user

- These messages will be sent manually by Game Admins. These messages can also be generated automatically during some Cloudscript calls

Also, I cannot depend of a realtime multiplayer engine like Photon (or a third party solution at all)

Here in the forum there are posts from 2017 about using SharedGroup for each user, to store these messages as a workaround, but maybe this is already implemented as of today?

Thanks

Currently the generic message system is not available, you may vote on these feature requests to help prioritize it:

Please also keep an eye on our Roadmap & Blog Post for any new updates.

For now, we’d recommend storing all the data you need for the message in each player’s key/value pair directly or using shared group data, for more details, please check the following threads:
