GF API also provides functionality for news feed and chat with GAIN Capital Futures administrators
Notifications
To receive notifications, just listen to the OnNotificationMessage event.
Notifications
private static void RegisterOnNotificationMessage(IGFClient client) { client.Connection.Aggregate.LoginCompleted += GFClient_OnLoginCompleted; client.Messaging.Notifications.NotificationMessageReceived += GFClient_OnNotificationMessageReceived; } private static void GFClient_OnLoginCompleted(IGFClient client, GF.Api.Connection.LoginCompleteEventArgs loginCompleteEventArgs) { DisplayNotificationHistory(client); } private static void GFClient_OnNotificationMessageReceived(IGFClient client, NotificationMessageEventArgs e) { DisplayNotificationMessage(DateTime.UtcNow, e.NotificationMessage.Channel, e.NotificationMessage.Message); } private static void DisplayNotificationHistory(IGFClient client) { foreach (var notification in client.Messaging.Notifications.Get()) DisplayNotificationMessage(notification.Timestamp, notification.Channel, notification.Message); } private static void DisplayNotificationMessage(DateTime timestamp, NotificationChannel channel, string message) { Console.WriteLine($"Notification received. {channel}: {message} at {timestamp.ToLocalTime()}"); }

Customer Service can enable particular channels for a user. |
Chat
Chat functionality is the same level of simplicity. Let's implement some code that will let your counterpart know that there is no human operating your application:
Chat
private static void RegisterOnChatMessage(GF.Api.IGFClient client) { client.Messaging.Chat.ChatMessageReceived += GFClient_OnChatMessageReceived; } private static void GFClient_OnChatMessageReceived(GF.Api.IGFClient client, GF.Api.Messaging.Chat.ChatMessageEventArgs e) { Console.WriteLine($"User Message. {e.ChatMessage.FromUser.Name} - {e.ChatMessage.Message}"); client.Messaging.Chat.SendMessage(e.ChatMessage.FromUser.ID, "Hey, I'm just a robot!"); }
Now our TradeDesk guys will see this in their application:
5:17 PM to vic: Please close all positions
5:17 PM vic: Hey, I'm just a robot!
