Hi fellow Gliders

I am relatively new to Glide and I am struggling with chat feature. I am expecting it to work in a certain way but being new I am simply unsure if this is how it is meant to be.

I have used the out of the box Chat as a Tab and I can see chat messages when I use the app from the tab view. But I expected it to send notifications to other (Android) devices where the app is installed and notifications are enabled, that way people get a little pop-up notifications on their device.

Reading the documentation, it says new chat messages to other users should work but I see no luck.

When Chat didn’t work I also spent a lot of time doing Zapier integration for notifications but I am almost at the verge of dropping the ball. So any help is really appreciated.

Thanks  
Prad
