🔕 In-App Notification

Creates a notification that appears in the Flusso notification bell (top-right of the interface) for a specified user. Ideal for internal alerts that do not require an external messaging service.

Category: Notifications & Messaging · Type identifier: in_app_notification

Overview

The In-App Notification node delivers real-time alerts directly inside Flusso. When triggered, a notification appears in the bell icon in the top-right corner of the interface for the targeted user. The user can click the notification to navigate to a relevant page or dismiss it.

This is the lowest-friction notification method — no external accounts or SMTP configuration required. It is best suited for alerting team members who are actively working in Flusso, for example notifying an analyst that a long-running report is ready, or alerting an administrator that a workflow requires attention.

No external setup needed. Unlike Email or Slack nodes, In-App Notification works out of the box with no configuration in Settings.

Configuration

Field	Required	Description
User ID	Optional	The Flusso user ID to send the notification to. If left blank, the notification is sent to the workflow owner. Supports `{{ variable }}`.
Title	Required	A short title shown in bold in the notification bell dropdown. Keep it under 60 characters.
Message	Required	The notification body text. Supports `{{ variable }}` references for dynamic content.
Link	Optional	A URL the user is taken to when clicking the notification. Can be an internal Flusso page or any external URL.

Output Data

Field	Type	Description
`created`	boolean	`true` if the notification was successfully created.
`notification_id`	integer	The unique ID of the created notification record.
`user_id`	integer	The ID of the user who received the notification.
`title`	string	The resolved title as stored.

Example Usage

Notify a team member that an AI-generated report has been saved to Google Drive and is ready for review.

-- Title -- Report ready: {{ trigger.output.report_name }} -- Message -- Your report has been generated and saved to Google Drive. {{ agent.output.summary }} -- Link -- {{ google_drive.output.url }}

Tips & Notes

If you need the notification to reach someone outside Flusso, use Email Notification or a messaging node instead.
The notification bell shows unread notifications with a badge count. Users can mark notifications as read or clear them from the dropdown.
To find a specific user's ID, navigate to Settings → Team and hover over the user's row, or reference the ID from an earlier workflow step that returns user data.
Use the Link field to direct the user straight to the relevant run detail page or a specific record in your application.
