Hi Team 👋 Is there a way to show a notification when the user opens the app? Thinking this would be a great alternative to push notification for announcing new app updates. Regards, Joey ---

Setup a column to hold the date. Then you can control the visibility of your app/ components with that date column. The visibility setting on your notification component should look like… If date column is empty or if date is before today Then when the user clicks on the notification component use an action to set the current date time to the date column. The action of setting the current date/time should hide the component until the next day. ---
