Notifications tray

Question to the community: If we integrate with Notifications tray what scenarios/short cuts/actions you would like to see?

[Laskewitz]

There are a couple of scenarios I can think of:

Shortcuts

It could be cool to be able to click the icon in the notification tray and have a sort of browser in there that can show the environments in your auth profile and then be able to right click + go to maker portal or right click + go to admin portal.

It would be nice to favorite the environments as well, so that you can quickly go to your favorite environments

Notifications

It would be nice to get notifications of long running operations like solution import, data import etc.

Actions

This is a long shot, but it could be cool to be able to trigger scripts from there, that it would give a pop-up for user inputs and then run the script.

I love the openness and discussion options, so let me start with kuddos for that! 🎉 Personally I am not really looking for notifications, I have turned of all notifications in Windows as it is. For long running operations I would be perfectly happy with a progress spinner in my terminal.

For shortcuts I would see some added value, navigate to maker portal / navigate to active environment etc.. When working with the CLI I tend to use the terminal for everything so if those shortcuts could become commands that would help my productivity flow better then clicking an icon :-).

I do believe if there is something like notifications, it should be easily configurable. Maybe as a user setting, so that you can easily switch notifications on or off.

@Laskewitz if notifications would be part of the notification tray they don't necessary require config, they listen to your windows preferences (system / notifications) that way, so a v1 with notifications wouldn't need to much config I would recon.

@appieschot - agreed to having the quiet hours etc, but might be helpful to have a setting for which type of notifications you want; only on long running operations, or other categories...

+1 for @Laskewitz suggestion - toast notifications when long running operations finish.

Switching auth profiles when you have multiple auth profiles could be useful.
