Instant Message other App Users Feature Requests

@Brady_Lovell No documentation. You just need to create your own Inbox/Messaging system. A simple table where a new record will also trigger a push notification with the deep-link so that the user can click and open the app, view the message and reply if necessary. See a couple of screenshots from one of my client apps. Basically the idea is the same as yours. When a new correspondence is recorded, the recipient receives a push notification which directly open the Inbox view. [image]

How do I show the number of mailboxes or unread notifications. As shown in the picture, I circle it in black.

Thanks you!

You need to use a combination of CONCATENATE() and COUNT() expressions in the Display Name of the UX View.
CONCATENATE("Inbox( ",COUNT(...)," )")
or
"Inbox ("&COUNT(...)&" )"

@toshihide_takeda
These are all custom solutions therefore there is no sample app. The logic is quite simple to build, so you need to make your hands a bit dirty

Thanks you so much!

Curious if you could use Google Chat if that were available as a Data Source? Would this be an interesting new Feature for AppSheet?

1. Do you use Google Chat already as a messaging tool?
2. Or, do you use some other messaging tool like WhatsApp, Slack, MS Teams, other?

FYI: There is a nice post by @tsuji_koichi here on how to post messages to a Google Chat Room or conversation using a Workflow Action.

And finally, here is a great post by @LeventK with instructions for how to build an app (with a link to a sample app you can start from) where you use a Sheet as your data source for In-App messaging - with an inbox, sent folder, drafts, deleted items, archive, etc… It’s pretty slick and you could check this out if you just want to use AppSheet as your “chat” tool without dependency on something like Google Chat or WhatsApp, etc…
