More Obvious In-App Notifications

My clients are loving the in-app notifications, but some of them have completely missed that they even exist. Could there be something a little more obvious, maybe like a bubble with the new message count, to let us know there are new notifications.

Definitely in agreement here! I miss these myself sometimes :rofl:

One proposed solution would be the ability to have a “Comments” tab in the left-side nav that, when clicked, opens up the notifications pane as a modal.

Far more front-and-center to have “Notifications” be something that could be listed below or above all the other pages in the nav bar

@buildwithjoel and @Brandi_Bullock Just bumping this up and pinging @darragh - I also had a client where they missed that notifications existing.

My thought was making the new notification dot bright red or something else more conspicuous.

Now that we have the PWA feature it would be great to go a step further and add badge notifications.

+1 one for the Original Idea and the Numbers Badge on the App Icons.

Would also be nice if the notification center could be opened as individual page and/or if you could add it to a Page like Comments for Example.

That way you could integrate it right into a Dashboard for example and show people the lastest Notification right away.

Just gonna throw in here another idea… it would be super helpful to have an in-line “Notifications” element. Then we could build our own welcome screen or home page or “My work” page for example, and drop that box in there. Perfect solution for more control on placement of the notifications “hub”

I would love to integrate the whole notifications issue on the user page. It would be awesome if I could place notifications the (like a collection) that users can the work through.

Piling on here:

Is there a way to show the total number of native notifications for a logged-in user besides clicking the bell in the bottom left corner (beyond seeing the number of comments left in a specific detail page next to the comment icon)? A client has mentioned that it’s a little too small and that they’d like to see a more prominent count of notifications from the landing page. If If there is a way to access that count from the users table or show it in a stat/highlight element that would be helpful!
