Zap Notifications Generator (In-App, Push, Email, Form)
Generate Notifications in-bulk: onDemand OR based on Trigger OR based on Recurring Pattern! (In-App + Push + Email + Form Notifications)
Zap Notifications Generator App can generate:
- In-App (Bell Notifications)
- Push Notifications (New feature released – Oct 2023)
- Email Notifications
- Form Notifications
Let’s first get the terminology correct! Below shows the different notification types:
Bell Notifications are displayed in top-right corner when bell icon is clicked.
Below screenshot shows some sample Bell Notifications:
Form Notifications are usually displayed on the form when user opens a record!
There are 2 types of Form Notifications :
1. Fixed Form Notification: This type of Notification can be added to any Dynamics 365 record and shows up when the record form is opened. These are static in nature.
E.g Displaying a message “The account is on credit-hold. Please contact finance team for more info.”
2. Conditional Form Notification: This type of Notification can also show up when a Dynamics 365 record form is opened. The only difference in comparison to fixed Notification is that… these are dynamic in nature… Here you specify conditions and only if the condition matches the record being opened will the Notification be shown!
E.g. Show on-going discounts for all open opportunity records with Estimated Revenue greater than $5000 during the sale period!
Push Notifications:
Push Notifications allow you to send instant messages directly to User’s Mobile. Please note that the user needs to have Power-Apps App installed in their mobile. This functionality has just been released (Oct 23):
