Notifications – Now Customizable via TDL

TallyPrime introduced the Notifications feature in Release 5.0 to keep users informed through in-product alerts. In Release 7.0, this capability has been extended to developers through a new definition — ‘Notification’, allowing them to design, trigger, and manage notifications as part of their custom solutions. This enhancement enables developers to configure how notifications are created, displayed, and persisted, offering greater control over user engagement.

The Notification definition introduces a range of attributes such as Activity Name, Activity ID, Handler, Type, Persist, and Expiry Duration, among others. These attributes help define notification behavior, from appearance and duration to actions performed when users interact with them. Developers can also configure notifications at the company or application level, set snooze options, and control whether older notifications are replaced or retained.

Additionally, new capabilities — Raise Notification and Delete Notification — have been added under Actions, and new data source types such as All Notifications, App Level Notifications, and Company Level Notifications make it easier to manage and access notifications programmatically.
