Hello,

I’ve searched through the forum a bit without finding a satisfactory answer. I’m wondering if I can send a message to a Phoenix channel from the server side. My use case is a link-saving site that fetches the title of the bookmarked page in the background. This keeps the creation of a new bookmark fast, while still having useful info shown later.

Ideally, I’d like to notify a channel that a title for a URL is found and would like to update the UI to show the title. I don’t want to set up a bespoke SSE thing if I can use a channel for this.

I do have an alternative idea, which is not as nice, but would like to ask the community first.
