Are you trying to send to a Phoenix app’s channels from a totally different BEAM instance? Like do you have two separate projects?

Different apps are started on different BEAM instances. If your phoenix endpoint and your other elixir app are on different instances, then you can use distributed erlang to communicate between them. If you can start your apps on the same instance, it would be easier though.

Yes @Nicd, I have 2 separate projects.
Thanks @idi527, I understood my mistake.
