Real-time in-app toast notifications on record creation
It would be very useful to have a native way to display real-time visual
notifications (such as toast messages, alert banners, or badges) directly
inside the TeamDesk interface when a new record is created in a table.

Currently, there is no built-in mechanism to alert users who are actively
viewing the application without relying on email or manual page refresh.

The expected behavior would be:
- Any user currently viewing the app receives an instant visual alert
the moment a new record is added to a watched table.
- The notification appears without leaving the current page (no redirect).
- It could optionally include the record name or a link to it.

This would significantly improve real-time collaboration and operational
monitoring use cases, especially for teams that manage high-volume workflows
and need to react immediately to new incoming data.

Thank you for considering this feature.

Hi, Alexix.

I have a script that performs an action that is similar to what you describe. Every time a TeamDesk page is loaded, a CallURL is performed to display right by the company logo the events happening that day & the next day, with links to the records for those events (see image here: https://www.teamdesk.net/secure/db/68828/res.aspx/Captura%20de%20pantalla%202026-08-06%20164002.jpg).

I think it could be adapted to show what you describe above:
- New records created in a watched table (for instance, in the last 15 min), with links to view those records

The notifications don't pop up in real time, but they are updated every time you load a new page, which is usually pretty often.

Would something like this work for you?

Hi Jorge,

Thanks a lot for sharing this — the screenshot is really helpful.

I actually built something similar on my side: counters/badges that show how many records were created recently in the tables we monitor, refreshed on page load. It works well and I think it's a very good solution, so it's nice to see someone else arrived at a similar approach.

I later took it a step further by connecting to the API: the page polls for new records and updates on its own, so the notification shows up as soon as a record is created in the table, without the user having to reload or navigate anywhere.

It would still be great to have this natively in TeamDesk so we don't have to maintain custom scripts for it, but in the meantime both approaches cover the need.

Thanks again for taking the time to answer.

Alexix
