About Notification API

To enable Notification API, proceed to Miscellaneous screen, click 'Notification API' button, enable this feature and create a new table to store notifications. Now, since this is an API, we need to write some code to make it work. Let's start with something simple.

When someone adds a new record to the Categories table we also want to create a notification.For this purpose, we will add the following code to the Categories table AfterAdd event:

CommonFunctions.addNotification( "New category added: " + values["CategoryName"].ToString() , "New category", "fa-envelope",
CommonFunctions.makePageLink( "categories", "view", keys) );  

If everything worked as expected, we will see a new notification added after each new record in the Categories table. And if we click on any notification, it will take us to that new category view page.
