Notification or sound

Need help
1

I have a webapp that pushes information to a repeating group page. There is someone monitoring this page. Is there a way to create a screen notification or sound when new information appears? This way the person doesn’t have to just stare at the screen for new information.

Thanks

For a sound-based solution, you could use the Howler plugin to play a sound.

Then, on your page, you have “Do when condition is true” workflow that is triggered by some corresponding value. (Ex. when current user’s is_flagged_for_updates = yes), then the noise plays. (And include some workflow to revert the state back to “no”). You can use this logic for displaying a popup or alert as well.

Another thing you can do is to group the content of the repeating group into a single group and have a condition that changes a background color (or similar attribute) when the current cell’s date created/modified is within the last X seconds.

Thanks Dan1, I will give the Howler plugin a try. I thought about doing the color change previously, but didn’t want to reinvent the page if I could avoid it.

Will let you know how it turns out.

Howler worked like a champ. Ran the conditional based on a DB field not being empty.

Thanks
