Please tell me how to display a notification as a notification when the app is launched for the first time.

Do you mean everytime the user opens the app, or only when they use the app for the first time?
What type of notification do you want to display to them? Is it a card, a modal or something else?

I want to show your app modally every time I open it.

> [@CSS MessageBox](https://community.glideapps.com/t/css-messagebox/26741/):

> Hello, I needed a MessageBox, and since it doesn’t exist in glide, I did it with CSS. You can adapt it to your needs. For the demo, click on the “floating button” to make it appear. When the “MsgBox” is visible, you normally can’t click anything else. Here is a small demo application. EDIT : I retrieve a part of CSS in the community (but I no longer have the author), I just adapted with buttons.
You can check out this thread for some inspirations. You can’t trigger anything while opening the app, but maybe you can do it once every day.
Basically what I think you can do is have a “last signed in” timestamp column in user profiles table. Then:
- If last signed in timestamp is not within today then show the modal and a button to “confirm” signing in for that day.
- Else don’t display the modal.
