Chat message notification

[mizuhase]

I’m setting up the chat message feature.

Can it send a notification to the receiver? Or can I set up the receiver’s app homepage to show any notification?

Hey @mizuhase, welcome to the community​

Regarding the notification setup for your messaging feature, you have 2 types of notifications: Push notifications (External notifications that you receive on your phone’s lock notification bar), and In-app notifications.

If you’d like to add both of them to your app, please follow the next steps:

• For Push Notifications:

  1- Go to the chat screen, and click on the (Send) button.
  2- Add a (Trigger Notification) action to this button, and select the Recipient to be (Current User).
  3- Customize your own Title, and subtitle and choose the destination screen.

• For In-App Notifications, you have multiple ways to do it, but here’s a simple way:

  1- Create a database collection named (Notifications), and add title, and subtitle properties for it. Then add a (Many to One) relationship with the (Users) collection, and name it (Recipient).
  2- Create a new screen named (Notifications), with a list connected to the new database collection.
  3- Move to the chat screen, and click on the (Send) button, then add an action to create a (Notification), and customize your title, subtitle, and the recipient would be (Current User).

Pease let me know if you’d like more info or help with it.
