notification bell with badge alert

[catmanchar]

I have added a bell at the top of my portal instance that shows that I have unread messages by using a badge counter to increase/decrease the number to show how many unread notifications that I have received. I would like to add an alert message or gs.message to notify the user when a notification has been received. Where do I put this alert/message? Thanks.

Hello Catmanchar,

Are you using a Menu Item with Type Scripted List to track the notifications?

Using the OOB Requests Scripted List as an example (Notice the 7th Line in Screen shot below) you are able to add an Info Message to get triggered when the Watcher finds a new record.  The only thing is I am not sure if there is a way to suppress this message on Load.

Does this help?  How does your current set up work? 

Best,

Andrew
