Question

Refresh the notification count present in the top bar of the layout

0

I have develop a notification in my web app. I'm displaying the count of unread notification on the notification icon on the top of the page. The count is not getting refreshed automatically when I create a new notification as I have placed the snippet in the layout. It works fine when I refresh the page manually. The same layout has been used in the all pages on the application. Any suggestions how to refresh the count?

Hello Abrar Ahmed,

There are different ways to achieve this.

Personally i love to use a websocket for this.

Check out this module for that for exaple:

However you can also try to force the refresh on your screen, with a microflow or nanoflow.

Hope this helps,

Good luck!

Hi Abrar,

I am not sure i think snippet does not refresh the entity but you can try this try to take dataview directly and in the datasource take a nanoflow inside nanoflow use refresh entity or object activity.
