## 🎯 **EXECUTIVE SUMMARY**
### **Research Objective**
Analyze user feedback regarding the Daily Notification Plugin's need for enhanced callback mechanisms and dual scheduling methods to support external service integration.
Analyze user feedback regarding the Daily Notification Plugin's need for
enhanced callback mechanisms and dual scheduling methods to support external
service integration.
### **Key Findings**
1. **Callback System Required**: Plugin needs to accept callbacks for API calls, database operations, and reporting services
2. **Dual Scheduling Architecture**: Need separate methods for content fetching vs. user notification
3. **External Service Integration**: Support for reporting services and database operations

## 📋 **USER REQUIREMENTS ANALYSIS**
### **User Feedback Summary**
> "BTW, I still think it's worth starting a branch where we use the notification plugin, but a note on the plugin itself: seems like it'll need a couple things. One is to accept some callbacks (eg. for API calls out to a reporting service and then saving in the DB). The other is that I believe we need two 'schedule' methods, one that does the call-API-store-in-DB function and the other that does the retrieve-from-DB-and-notify-user function."

#### **2. Dual Scheduling Methods**
- **Method 1**: `scheduleContentFetch()` - API calls and database storage
- **Method 2**: `scheduleUserNotification()` - Database retrieval and user notification
- **Separation of Concerns**: Clear distinction between data operations and user interaction
- **Method 2**: `scheduleUserNotification()` - Database retrieval and user
notification
