notifications and server-side functionalities

[Ronnie018]

I'm looking for a way to generate notifications both for the application and via email, but these functionalities are usually implemented in the backend, which would be firebase, a workaround could be done using the client as I did with the connection system (I believe it's too exposed that way, but do the trick for now). The other option would be to use firebase functions to make the logic server-side. but the sparky plan doesn't cover this function; I'm stuck on this, any suggestions?

I was looking into a notifications solution within the backend and if I was on the right track, I think it will be something to do with the cloud messaging service. I have so much catching up todo, I apologize. If I remember correctly this will work similar to a JavaScript alert from the site to all users, like if we wanted to send out a mass survey link. For some reason I can not remember, I was thinking to use this with the firestore for the notifications. The next screenshot is where the email templates are and I have not set them up. The last one is a new alert on firebase I just found. It says, "Your Cloud Storage for Firebase bucket 'mainereentry.appspot.com' will start denying client requests unless you update your security rules." I'll check on it as soon as I can.
