Merged in a post:
"New Post" indication in Channels
И
Иво Димитров
In my HeartBeat community there is an indication when a channel is unread (has new posts since the last time I have checked the channel). aka The red arrows in the screenshot.
Can you add such indication with a red dot on the side or something else?
It's a small thing but very engaging.

I don't know how feasbile this is but can we get this added by August 10th? I'm onbarding so many people onto communities then and no new post notifications will be a major disappointment because the platform we're coming off of had them. Shreyas Birajdar

Shreyas Birajdar
Nate Cameron: Yes, this will be live between August 10–11, it's currently in the final testing phase. We’re on track, and I’ll keep you posted in case anything shifts, but you should be good to go for your onboarding.

Shreyas Birajdar will this also include push notifications for new posts in the channel? That would be sweet!

Shreyas Birajdar Any news about it? We are still waiting for it before moving to GHL. Thanks

Matteo Mangili: Hi this feature is now live ✅.
If you notice anything unexpected, please drop a note here so we can look into it quickly.
M
Matteo Mangili
Shreyas Birajdar Yes, it works for new post now :)
Are there any topics open about:
- Set a channel as a message board or group chat (now we can only use them as a post board and have a separate 1:1 chat, but we need the group chat)
- Group multiple channels with a drop-down menu
If not, I'll create a new one about it, Thanks

Shreyas Birajdar I see the badges by the channels but push notifications are not coming for new posts as of testing this morning. Is there something admins need to do to make that happen? And can that functionality be added without an update to the app?

Shreyas Birajdar I was waiting to see the new notification of one of the post I scehduled but nothing happened.

Nate Cameron: Right now, push notifications for all new posts aren’t enabled yet - this is to avoid overwhelming users with too many alerts. The good news is that this will be part of our upcoming Follow feature, which is already in QA and will be live soon. Once released, you’ll start getting notifications for all new posts from people you follow.
I’ll make sure to update you here as soon as it’s available so you can give it a try.

Shreyas Birajdar I see. Thank you. I will say that it may be easier to select push notifications for the channels you want instead of the users you want.
Let’s say a user I follow is in a Golf channel and a book club channel. I like books but I don’t golf. If I follow that user I get notified of their posts in a channel I don’t care about. Further, in big groups it would be difficult to follow all users you’d want notifications from. I think this makes a ton of sense. Will we be able to select new post notifications per channel in the QA release?

Shreyas Birajdar Brilliant, please let me know. That is an important feature I am waiting on to be added then. If you could email me let me know.

Shreyas Birajdar
Lavinia MeekSure, ill keep you posted.

SO GLAD THIS IS IN PROGRESS!! What's the ETA?

Shreyas Birajdar
David Ronka: So glad to hear that! 🙌
We’re targeting August 10–11 .. it’s currently in final testing, and everything’s looking good so far. I’ll keep you updated if anything changes!

David Ronka
Shreyas Birajdar Thank you for the update! This will be a GREAT addition. I'm wondering -- I don't believe there is a "New Post" notification in Courses, either. Is that on the roadmap, and if so, when is it expected?
K
Keith Besherse
David Ronka, that would be great. Is it an ideas board suggestion? Shreyas Birajdar, Updated content would be a fabulous addition.

Matteo Mangili
I confirm, I requested the same thing as on Discord that the channel becomes bold

Is this for a notification or trigger if someone makes a new post in the community?

Even from a content creation strategy would help me know if I'm not giving one of my topic areas enough attention.
