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! ![IMG_0542](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/4/6/469da83944079c104d31a9481998511d1a885994.jpeg) ![IMG_0543](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/f/1/f1ce8feafd194c898370520d2f0a041ad1ad8f58.jpeg) ---

One easy way would be to add an emoji 🔴 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. ---
