Receive a notification whenever someone uses a supertag

Goal

Community member Jérémie asked: "I created a new supertag called #feedback to collect feedback from my team. They can easily add a comment and add the supertag. Is there a way to receive a notification when the tag has been added?"

Great question! Below was the solution that worked 👇 For more stuff like this, join our community to share and learn about all things Tana 🫶

Instructions

Build the command

  1. Create a new command called Notify me
    1. Add the command Run a command line command
    2. In the parameter Commands, write Notify @[your tana account email]. Example: Notify @fei@tana.inc
  2. Go to the supertag config you want to be notified on, to the section Trigger commands on events, and add a reference to the command to the On added section:

Testing

Test the command by adding the supertag. You should

  1. get a notification that a notification has been sent, and
  2. see a blue dot appear in your notifications. Clicking it shows you which node you were notified on.

🙌 That's it!
