Microsoft has released In-App Notification feature (part of Release Wave 2 – 2021) for Model Driven Apps which is still in public preview (as of Oct 9, 2021) .

This feature allows the configuration of In-App notifications that pops out for users in the notification center while working in their model driven web apps.

Since this feature is still in-preview… So to start using it…you first need to enable it…
The present documented approach is to do it programmatically…

A much easier way to enable this feature has been recently added in Zap Notifications Generator App.

As shown in screenshot above… You can easily enable/disable this feature for your apps by just toggling the switch!
Once done…click the Save button!

Zap Notifications Generator App allows bulk generation of In-App Notifications (Bell Notifications): onDemand, based on Triggers Or based on Recurring pattern + Form Notifications + Email Notifications!
