Streamlining Alerts with Low-Code: User Notifications Part 3 | The Low-Code Café

In this episode of Low Code Café, host Dale Warner introduces the final segment of a three-part series on streamlining alerts and user notifications. The episode covers the latest hot fixes for the Plant an App platform, showcasing improvements to token builder, portal management, listings, forms, and app builder. Warner also guides viewers through the process of delivering notifications by email and implementing an alert icon for unacknowledged notifications, recapping previous episodes to demonstrate the system’s functionality. Additionally, the host builds an email notifier workflow, sets up a notification system for specific activities, and creates a Send Notifications Automation to deliver alerts based on user subscriptions, concluding with a demonstration of adding an alarm bell to the interface for new notifications.
