📖 Overview

Baichdo Notify adds a simple "Send Notification" page to the WordPress admin. From it you can broadcast an Expo push notification to every device registered in your app — the plugin reads the existing rtcl_push_notifications token table (populated by the RTCL-based mobile app) and sends messages in batches through the Expo Push API.

💡 Purpose-built companion for the Baichdo mobile app — no separate dashboard or service required.

🚀 Installation

  1. Copy the baichdo-notify-menu folder to /wp-content/plugins/.
  2. Activate Baichdo Notify under Plugins.
  3. A Send Notification item (megaphone icon) appears in the admin menu.

ℹ️ Requires the RTCL push-token table ({prefix}_rtcl_push_notifications) to be populated by your app.
