Parse CloudCode beforeSave object does not have objectID

Question

I am trying to send a push to a user from Parse Cloud Code every time a new object is created of a certain class, but in the push i need to send the objectId to the user, but it is always null. So is the objectId available in beforeSave when a new object is created?

No, the objectId is not available until after the object is saved. However, there is an afterSave() method where you can send the push. Works the same way as beforeSave().

You should use the afterSave trigger and check for request.object.existed() in there to run your code on new objects.
