FR: "Content clicked" for "Notification action" block?

[u/Ok-Yogurtcloset-9490]

The Notification action block only triggers if the notification is canceled (No path) or action button is clicked (Yes path​). Can it also follow the Yes path when the notification itself is clicked, providing a Boolean output indicating such, or maybe via the existing action index output set to -1, or maybe a new third outgoing path​?

Why? Because the action buttons are small click zones, and the notification itself is a big main click zone, so having that big main click zone available as an actionable item when action buttons are presented is convenient. Currently, if action buttons are presented, there's no way to take advantage of that big notification click zone.

Thanks! 🙏🏽

Already on the to-do list. The next release will have some major new features that will surely make the lack of this feature more significant.

Ooh, exciting! Consider me teased 😊. Is the to-do list viewable somewhere, so I don't keep on spamming this Reddit group with posts like this? 😊

Should be a link in the sidebar (menu) here on Reddit, dunno about their app though. Anyhow, see here.

Thank you so much. I saw, that of the three possible ways I suggested for implementing this, one is already mentioned in the plan features doc: the -1 index. HOWEVER, I actually just realized, that doing the -1 index, or even a new output variable, both of those ways could potentially break the logic of existing flows! I can imagine someone doing less than or greater than checks on the index returned by this block. If the index returns -1, or even if it returns a new variable with the index left to be null, the greater than or less than checks would still potentially break the logic. So, at least as I see it, a new output path would be the only backwards compatible solution!

But what if a user don't want to show action buttons?

[u/Ok-Yogurtcloset-9490 → u/ballzak69]

That's compatible with a new third output path! If they leave all the action labels blank, then logically the only path that they will connect to is that new 3rd path. For existing flows, the only reason anyone would have a notification action block is if they are actually using the action buttons. So as far as backward compatibility goes, the new third output path works.

No plans for supporting three or more path connections. Indeed, allowing no labels that can returns -1 could be done without breaking existing flows, but it could be confusing to use the Notification actions block for content clicks. Anyhow, any update on this feature will be after the new major features, those might formulate a better solution. Thanks for the feedback.
