in the open channel-\> community.  
is there any option to send and receive notifications to only those who are participating in the community chat?  
I mean … say I just entered into a community chat where you already messaged something …now I am messaging something in the community chat…so since u r already in the chat u should get a notification about the new activities in that…is it something already available in this community activity…?

Hi @sakkk  
Unfortunately., OpenChannel doesn’t support push notification.  
You can see differences between channel types.
