Hi, for that you have to create it yourself.

You can add a notification icon and a red circle above it.

In the red circle, you set a condition: the logged-in user’s notifications count that are read\>false is greater than zero. Then, it will appear like this when they have unread notifications.

When the user accesses the notifications to read them, you can perform an action that updates the notification to read\>true.

Another option is how to do it.

Add a button, for example, in black without text, just the notification icon. The action is to go to notifications. Activate the first option and add a state (when the logged-in user’s notifications count, read is false, is greater than 0). Make that button red with the icon, and in the text box, enter a custom formula: to count the unread notifications I have. Make that button red, and the action is to go to view notifications.

If u need in spanish tell me!

Hey Santiago! Thanks for your answer.

So, you advice me to create a Notification Center. Instead of creating a custom component.

Right?

Thanks in advance
