Well, my English may not be so good, but, to the point, can I use any Cloud Database to save the information which will be got by the app? I am not sure if CloudDB will work for this.
To be more clear, I want to create an App: When the user asks for something, it will try to get the information asked from “somewhere”. Also, instead of saving the info through the same App, can I save the information by using ex. the web browser?
It should look like this:
The Information I saved in the cloud —app asks for the info—> App get the info from the cloud
For instance, an important message which is supposed to be sent to everyone who uses the App.
Looks like you mean “push notifications” ?
There is nothing available for this in native AppInventor, but you could look for an extension that may do it here: https://puravidaapps.com/extensions.php

At first, thanks for the quick answer.
Maybe it is “push notifications”, but what I am doing is:
I want to create a chatbot. When the user will ask for something, I would like to get the information from the cloud and then the bot answers the user and tells him the information. Is it “push notification”? I’m not so sure about it…
I think Firebase can update all users when a record is added to the database. I have not used this myself but I have seen a tutorial chat app created by Firebase that has this functionality.
Actually, I have tried it. However, the Google Cloud API makes me dying. (BTW, I am glad to hear if you could give me some tips on how to use Google Cloud API in App Inventor). For now, I am trying to use https://restdb.io/ which provides me an Http API so that I can get the data using the Web Component in the App inventor.
Thank you though.
Edit PS: If you mean the Firebase which is a component in the App inventor, I have not tried it.
