What is it?

Notifications Unleashed is a simple CRM Solution that puts the power of notifications into User’s and System Customizer’s hands. This solution will enable you to utilize the out-of-the-box Form Notifications in 2 different ways:

  1. Notification Records which are essentially Activity records which can be created against practically any record. The details from the Notification record are surfaced on the related record. The notification record has an End Date that can be set to make it “go away” after a certain amount of time, or it can be closed off manually.

  2. Notification Queries allow authorized users to notifications that apply to a certain Fetch Query. These queries are evaluated against specific records and if the record “belongs” to the query, the notifications is displayed. This is great if you don’t want to create too many Notification records and you can easily define a query as the notification crtieria.

Update

I recently discovered Notify.js which provides some very nice functionality for notifications. Since that library isn’t fully supported (because of a single line of code), I won’t incorporate into thie existing solution I have. I may create a new version using the library, which I will publish here. Stay tuned.
