Show notification

Show a notification to the user (like the notifications you see on your phone or desktop).

This is useful for reminders and status updates, especially if the user switches to another app or tab.

Add the action

1. In Interface, open a workflow.
2. Click + Add an action.
3. Go to PWA.
4. Select Show notification.

Configuration

Setting	What it does
Title	The main notification title (required).
Body	Extra text shown under the title.
Icon URL	Small icon shown in the notification.
Image URL	Larger image shown in the notification (when supported).
Tag	A label used to group/replace notifications (for example, to avoid duplicates).
Data	Extra data to attach to the notification (useful for advanced flows).
Vibration pattern	A vibration pattern in milliseconds (mainly on mobile).

Permission is required

Notifications only work after the user allows them.

If the user blocks notifications, the action won’t be able to show anything.

Example: notify when an upload finishes

1. Run your upload action.
2. In the success path, add Show notification.
3. Set:
   • Title: Upload complete
   • Body: Your file is ready.

Common pitfalls

I don’t see the notification

Check:

1. Your browser/device notification permissions.
2. Whether you’re testing on a supported browser/device.
