When testing automation flows over a longer period, I often create notifications on the timeline to debug the process. The problem is that all timeline notifications share the same color and flow icon, which makes it hard to distinguish them from each other.

My suggestion would be to add a new action flow card that allows creating a timeline notification with different colors, and perhaps even different icons. This would make it much easier to debug and visually separate notifications when working with multiple test flows.

That could be helpful, that’s true.

Side note  
You can add your own icons to the notification:

I meant the flow icon in the green circle, I’d argue that adding an emoji to the notification text isn’t really the same.

Although, it can help clarify it a little.

No, of course it’s not the same thing. That was just meant to be a little tip… 🤷‍♂️
