Notifications

Workflows can notify your app's users directly, and an @mention in a comment notifies the person mentioned: every recipient gets an inbox entry in the published app, and users who opted in also get a web push on their device.

Sending one

Add a Send notification step to any workflow:

SettingWhat it does
AudienceWho receives it. SELECT(USERS[Email], [Role] = "Admin") targets a role; any expression producing emails works — including a field of the triggering record.
Title & bodyPlain-text templates that can include record values.
LinkOptional destination inside the app — tapping the notification opens that view, optionally on the triggering record.

Mentions in comments

The comments blocksends the other kind: @mention a teammate and they get a notification titled “Namementioned you”, with the comment as the body, opening the record page the comment is on. Nothing to configure: it follows the block's Mentions toggle.

  • Only app users who can read that table are notified, so a mention never advertises a record someone cannot open.
  • You are never notified about your own comment.

How it arrives

  • The bell in the published app opens the inbox — every recipient sees the entry there.
  • Web push reaches the subset who granted browser permission; it's best-effort on top of the inbox, never instead of it.
  • Notifications can be disabled per app in Settings.
