In this chapter, we have taken a look at ways to improve user engagement using push notifications and Microsoft Graph API implementations. Keeping user engagement alive is the key factor to maintaining the return rate of your application. Push notifications is an excellent tool that you can use engage your users, even when your application is not active. Azure Notification Namespaces and Hubs make this engagement a lot easier to implement by creating an abstraction layer between the PNSes and the target device runtimes. On top of the push notifications, we analyzed various APIs that are available on the Graph API through Project Rome and RESTful APIs that are readily available.
We have successfully engaged our user, so in the next chapter, we will try to surprise them with machine learning and cognitive services gimmicks to create not only a responsive and fluid application...
