Hi mfeltscher
I don't think there is an API available to mark a notification as 'read' right now. As there isn't a similar functionality in the UI, I am assuming that the REST call is something which could be introduced as a future improvement, if it is seen as a need by a significant group. What I suggest is to have a look on our Idea board and add a new idea about this - or add the suggestion to this existing idea which is hinting to similar features.
Cheers,
PaoloT As far as I can see there is a similar functionality in the frontend. First, I see the unread notification count and second, if I go to the notification page, I see which notifications got read and which are unread. How is this handled internally?

Hi mfeltscher
I wouldn't be able to illustrate the inner workings of the platform, this would be more a question for our engineering department. Even so, I am not sure they would be sharing internal platform implementation details, unless they form part of a standard platform customization point.
I understand what you say, however there is no explicit feature in the UI that allows a user to mark a notification read or unread. Also, the REST API does not currently offer a call to retrieve unread notifications (the question was also asked here).
Kind Regards,
Hi PaoloT
Could you please get in touch with the engineering department to get some more information on how this is done by Lithium?
Thanks,

Hi mfeltscher
For this type of request, I suggest you get in touch with our Support department - however, as I have mentioned I am not sure whether internal implementation details will be shared externally.
Kind Regards,
