How to send deposit and withdraw details of user from client to Node.js (express) server using Pusher?

Question

I am subscribing to "my-channel" and binding to "my-event" in client.

pusher.html

<!DOCTYPE html>
<head>
  <title>Pusher Test</title>
  <script src="https://js.pusher.com/5.0/pusher.min.js"></script>
  <script>

    // Enable pusher logging - don't include this in production
    Pusher.logToConsole = true;

    var pusher = new Pusher('******', {
      cluster: 'ap2',
      forceTLS: true
    });

    var channel = pusher.subscribe('my-channel');
    channel.bind('my-event', function(data) {
      alert(JSON.stringify(data));
    });

  </script>
</head>
<body>
  <h1>Pusher Test</h1>
  <p>
    Try publishing an event to channel <code>my-channel</code>
    with event name <code>my-event</code>.
  </p>
</body>

I am triggering "my-event" in "my-channel" with a message hello world

server.js

        var pusher = new Pusher({
            appId: '****',
            key: '****',
            secret: '******',
            cluster: 'ap2',
            encrypted: true
        });

        pusher.trigger('my-channel', 'my-event', {
            "message": "hello world"
        });

For this code i get an alert message in client side . i.e., my server is sending messages to client but my problem is i want the whole process other way around , i want client sending messages to the server and how to receive those in server?.How to do it with pusher using node.js.

thanks!

Client libraries provided by Channels can only subscribe to channels and consume events (they can also send events to other clients) - they cannot trigger events to the server. Server libraries can only trigger events - they cannot subscribe to channels.

A solution could be achieved by using client events and configuring the necessary webhooks in your app.

More info can be found in Pusher Channels documentation
