Adding a notification to the notification bell when a user "@" another user.

Hello!
I have been attempting to add a notification to the Notification "Bell" area when another ITIL user "@";s another user from a work note. However, I am unsure of the best way to do this via the notifications. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi @mtomc 

 

You can create provider notification on "live_notification" table to show the notifications under bell icon in next-experience view. I just tested it in my PDI and it worked.

Go to Provider notifications

Select the trigger as Record insert and Table as live_notifications

Select user in the recipients list

Save the record and scroll-down to contents related list. Create a content and save it.

Give your text and save the content. That's it.

@mtomc yes, you can achieve that by creating provider notification on "live_notification" table.

Make sure OOTB notification for mention is active

@Anantha Gowrara Thanks again! That worked!

How were you able to get the live_message to link to the record they were mentioned on?

Hi @mtomc I think you should create custom notification using next gen - https://docs.servicenow.com/bundle/vancouver-platform-administration/page/administer/navigation-and-....  I tried it and could see notification under bell icon.
