Notification Icon on Chat Profile for unread messages

Hello Gliders,

I would like to build for my users a way to see if there are some new messages left to read when they see this screen with all the members in the community. Each profile has its own chat. I can’t find a way to build this functionality at the moment!

Do you have any suggestions on building it?

I have the free plan at the moment so I will not be able to use CSS

Any help would be highly appreciated! Thanks in advance and have a great day building!


One easy way would be to add an emoji :red_circle: to the name or some detail on the card.

Another option is to use a custom collection. Then you could put another component in there and have a number correspond to the unread messages… you can do a lot with HTML and the rich text component

You need to create a user specific’s timestamp column, then compare it with the timestamp of the sent message through the if-else column. Give a value of 1 if the USC date is before the message date and vice versa.
This way you can count the number of unread messages by using the rollup column.
