DId you look at the community messaging app? It does not use comment based design and uses my script notification system. [image] Glide's Community Built Messenger Project Showcase @Jeff_Hager reworked the CSS field for us once again and gave us an even better entry field that expands for multiple lines.

I would say 75% of all my clients have asked for legit chat functionality. This would be the biggest win since Actions.

Well dang! Nice! I bought the old one…:frowning:

You can download the new one for free. Just revisit the template store.

Can you add the template to another existing app in order to use that feature?

No…sorry, you have to rebuild it.
