Notifications are always delivered to the recipient's **Timeline**. If the recipient has push notifications enabled on their mobile device, a push notification is also sent. Depending on the selected notification type, users can be directed to dashboards, forms, workflow overviews, or simply receive an informational message. *** ### Configuration Options | Setting | Required | Description | | ----------- | -------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | Title | Yes | The title displayed in the notification. | | Description | Yes | The message shown in the notification timeline. | | Image | No | Optional image displayed in the notification timeline. Images are not included in push notifications. | | Recipients | Yes | One or more users and/or user groups that will receive the notification. | | Type | Yes | Defines the action performed when the recipient opens the notification. | #### Notification Types | Type | Additional Configuration | Description | | ---------------------- | ------------------------ | -------------------------------------------------------------- | | Information | None | Displays an informational notification in the user's timeline. | | Open dashboard | Dashboard, Restricted | Opens the selected dashboard when the notification is opened. | | Open overview | Form, Restricted | Opens the overview (list view) of the selected form. | | Create form | Form, Restricted | Opens the selected form in create mode to add a new record. | | Open form | Form ID, Restricted | Opens an existing form record using the specified Form ID. | | Open workflow overview | None | Opens the Workflow Overview. | #### Restricted Option The **Restricted** option is available for **Open dashboard**, **Open overview**, **Create form**, and **Open form** notifications. * **Enabled**: After viewing the content, the user is automatically returned to the **Timeline**. * **Disabled**: After closing the content, the user returns to the application's main menu. *** ### Usage Use the **Notifications** tool to communicate directly with platform users or groups and guide them to relevant content inside the application. Typical use cases include: * Informing users about important announcements. * Directing users to a dashboard requiring attention. * Opening a specific form record for review. * Asking users to create a new form entry. * Guiding users to a workflow overview. * Sending targeted notifications to individual users or entire user groups. *** ### Recipient Selection * Notifications can be sent to both **individual users** and **user groups**. * Multiple users and groups can be selected in a single notification. * When a user group is selected, the notification is delivered to all members of that group. *** ### Delivery Notifications are delivered through two channels: * **Timeline** (always) * **Push notification** (only when the recipient has enabled push notifications on their device) If push notifications are disabled, the notification remains available in the user's Timeline. *** ### Timeline All sent notifications are stored in the user's **Timeline**, allowing recipients to review previously received notifications. Images attached to notifications are displayed only in the Timeline and are not included in push notifications. *** ### Tips & Best Practices * Use descriptive titles so recipients immediately understand the purpose of the notification. * Send notifications to user groups when multiple users need the same information. * Use actionable notification types (such as **Open dashboard** or **Open form**) to guide users directly to the required location. * Use the **Restricted** option when users should return to the Timeline after completing the requested action. *** ### Limitations * Notifications cannot be edited after they have been sent. * Each notification is a one-time message. * Push notifications depend on the recipient enabling push notifications on their device. *** ### Changelog | Version | Date | Change | | ------- | ------------ | ------------------------------------ | | 1.0 | July 9, 2026 | Initial documentation version added. | --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://academy.any2info.com/any2info-academy/no-code-platform/tools/notifications.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
