In-app notifications in Power Apps

by Sep 8, 2022

I rambled a couple of times about how I like the new in-app notification feature in Power Apps / Dynamics 365.

in-app notifications

Why?

It looks like a small feature, but this is a tremendous change in user experience. You can now asynchronously inform users about processes that happen in the background.

This means the flow in business processes can be designed differently because there is a new tool to use. A user can start a process, then do something else, and then can come back to the process when they receive a notification.

Which use cases would you use this feature for?

I see people picking this feature up increasingly, looking at recents blog posts that are popping up and discovering use cases for them, see:
