Notification system in coda

[Viorel_Postica]

Hi all,
Am using coda more on mobile app.
A need a similar notification system on mobile similar to what notion has.
For example in a column I want to have date and hour and when I have this type of data, I want a notification on mobile at that hour in that day.
Is this possible? With a similar system I could abandon definitely notion

Thank you

yes - in general this can be achieved!
if your notifications fall on the hour i.e. 8am, 9am etc - you can use “time-based” automations. Please note, depending on how busy coda servers are at the time, it may take up to 2-5 mins to get your time set notification i.e 9:02am.

but if your notifications fall in between the hours, then would recommend either “Webhook invoked” automations OR a pack Scheduler Pack, extend Coda with Scheduler - Coda.

For the mobile part - need to turn this on in the app. here’s how you do it:

Push message or app notification

If they install the Coda app and allow notifications, the Coda notify feature should work this way. If you have the app on your phone, open it, log in, then click on the icon at the bottom right to open notifications, then click the icon at the top right and you can turn notifications on or off for both email and mobile. Personally, I use the browser shortcut that goes directly to the doc I want, then just install the app to get the notifications.

Just to set expectations and not sure how notion does it (if its native / intuitive or not), but in coda - setting notifications and reminders takes a bit more manual work/know-how. Have a search for “reminders” or “notifications” on this forum to get an idea on how best to set it up for you

hope this helps!

cheers!
