In the OutSystems Community, it can be interesting to have a notifications bell in the header, between the search icon and the profile. 

We should receive a notification when we are mentioned in a comment, new comment in my post, kudos, etc etc. Also, the notification should have a redirect link to post/ideia/ etc.

Like this:


Thanks

I receive an email whenever there's an activity related to my post or comment on the forum. But would be better if there's a notification kind of feature anywhere on the site itself.

Hello Tushar,


There is already the "Recent Activity" tab on the forums and the landing page for the community (https://www.outsystems.com/community/) shows the most recent items on the forum, on the forge and on the ideads.


Additionally, there is the digest in which everything is summarized into one single email.


Cheers!

Yes Armando. But I thought a notifications things(maybe as on Facebook, likedin etc.) would be really helpful to check everything at a glance.

Very useful feature. Want to see this implemented soon.

Merged this idea with 'Forums - Notifications Bell' (created on 10 May 2020 11:23:32 by Diana Milheiro)

It would be interesting in addition to receiving an email when there is a new comment on a thread we are following, having a notification bell in the community header.

Great idea.
We already get emails about them. If the forum could check if I'm online before sending me another email, it would be perfect.

Even better for people that spend the full day here. The more time you spend on the forum, the more emails you get and they are not relevant because you're already here.

Agree with Nuno, you get emails already, and on other posts you can press the Follow button and also get emails on those, even if you didn't post or replied on it.

Merged this idea with 'Notifications Bell' (created on 04 Dec 2019 07:30:59 by Rohan Hanumante)

HI,

It will be very good idea if we have "Notification Bell" functionality at the top right bar somewhere around near profile image. The use case of this would be notify logged in user about notifications like (most useful in) someone have commented on your post or some other had made commented on the post where you also made comment and likewise others stuffs also.

By doing that we don't have to navigate to long path from profile link to actual post links.

Thanks....

Hi Rohan,


You're saying something like what appends with personal messages?

If yes, I think is a good idea.


Best regards,

Ricardo

Hi Ricardo,

I mean to saying about comments/posts which I/user created in the forum/Ideas. Let's say I have posted one question in the forum and after that others members will answer on that so there is no way i can get to know that other members had made a comments for that I will get notification in email only. If i want to know in the site only there is no way at the glance. Hence, My suggestion is that can we have "Notification Bell" functionality which i marked in the below image.

Merged this idea with 'Get notified in Outsystems website or profile when receiving new replies in forum ' (created on 08 Mar 2024 03:51:45 by Vaibhav Patidar)

Hi,

As of now when we are providing any solution or suggestion to any post in forums and someone replied with any query we are just receiving the email notification about the update in the post or we have to open the post to check if any update. 

In addition we should also get the notification or update somewhere in the Outsystems Website or Outsystems profile so we are not depending only on email to check for any update on the post. This will improve the forum post to get the solutions fast.

We can get some kind of notification in below section.


Hi,

Before posting your idea please search first if this idea already exists. I will have to merge your idea with one already posted in 2018!

Regards,

Daniel

Merged this idea with 'Profile : Notification Icon near by search symbol' (created on 29 Mar 2019 19:54:46 by Sravan Vanteru)

Currently it's very difficult to check any replies to posts or any other notification in OutSystems profile.

All the way we need to go that particular post and see if there is any reply or we need to check mails.

I'm strongly suggesting if we can have notification icon near search icon it will be great.

It will be very useful for user as well as management, if management want to send / pass some information to all community members this will help a lot.

Merged this idea with 'In-App Notification Center for OutSystems Community Activities' (created on 22 May 2025 07:28:06 by Aravind I)

It would be incredibly useful to have an in-app notification feature within the OutSystems platform to keep track of:

  1. Replies and comments on forum posts you've participated in or started
  2. Comments and status changes on your submitted ideas in the "Ideas" section
  3. Mentions or tags (if supported in the future)
  4. System-wide updates like Forge updates, product news, or community highlights.

Currently, we have to:

  • Manually check email inboxes
  • Visit the forum or Ideas section frequently
  • Risk missing important replies or feedback from others.

Suggestion:

  • A notification bell icon in the top navigation bar.
  • Real-time or batch notifications (e.g., “You have 2 new replies on your forum post”).
  • Optional email + in-app toggle.
  • Ability to mark notifications as read or link directly to the discussion.

    This small addition would go a long way in boosting developer productivity, community involvement, and platform experience. 

Totally agree! In-app notifications would make it much easier to stay updated and involved without constantly checking emails .
