Is it possible to use the Noloco GraphQL API for notifications? I want to send a notification when a record is created, but they are created outside of Noloco and synced, so I cannot trigger a workflow as far as I’m aware. Thanks!

One solution is to create a “Notifications” table (or similar) and use a workflow on record creation to send the appropriate notification
