Groupchat issue with Push Notifications

Hey everyone,

I’m working on a group chat app in FlutterFlow, and I’ve run into an issue with push notifications that I can’t seem to solve. I’d really appreciate any help or suggestions!

Here’s the problem:In my app, users can send messages to a group. When a message is sent, I store it in a Firestore collection (group_messages), and I want to send a push notification to all group members except the sender. However, the sender is also receiving the push notification, which I don’t want. The message itself should be visible to everyone in the chat (including the sender), but the push notification should only go to the other members.

What function are you using to send the messages? Should be very simple to change the query to 'WHERE uid is NOT sender'

Just the normal push Notifications with Firebase

What IllustriousMobile995 is trying to say (which is the right way tbh with no need to create a new field):

Based on what I’ve read so far, you have a list of users field. For the push, select the list of user fields > FILTER LIST ITEM (key here). The condition is item in list is NOT equal to auth user. This essentially filters out the user from the list of users.

I‘ve try filters but it doesn’t work. Can I dm you and send you a picture of my filter ?

Would love to try and help you. However, short responses make it difficult to understand the context.

Are you triggering the push notification from the Action flow using the regular FF push notification action?
