 We’re happy to announce a new engagement component for apps: Notification Alerts.  When users receive notifications, they will see a “New App Notifications!” alert on their user home page.

 New alerts are shown just below the main profile image when a user first logs in. Below is a screenshot of how indicators look:

 Clicking the alert takes the user directly to the app notifications section of the mail center:

 

 Notifications are a great way to keep users engaged (we’ve already seen good numbers for apps using them!)  

 Are your apps using notifications? To learn how to implement notifications (and start showing these indicators,) see our documentation on how to get started with notifications.

 Any feedback?  Let us know below.
