Display upcoming dates
I am working on a game for to promote a local band. Within the game, probably as part of an end of game screen, I would like to post the band's next concert date and location. The dates are regularly updated as the band books new shows. Is there an easy way to do this so that I can set up a table somewhere within or outside of GameSalad and have the new information show up? We could also enter the weekend's shows at the beginning of the week and just have those show up in the game. Of course, I'd strongly prefer not to have to upload a new version of the game every time there were new dates to post.
This is my first Gamesalad game and I'm not a superstar programmer so if you have any guidance, could you please walk me through what needs to be done? Any help would be most appreciated!

Hello,
if you have some basic knowledge of PHP, SQL and JSON, then this is an easy task.
Have a look at this tutorial and template on how to set up your own server and make your app take data from it.

Let me know if this helps you.
I think this service from @Hopscotch allows you to do something like push notifications that might work for you.
