question: Field time for new message

Closed this issue · 3 comments

Describe the question

I don't know whether we have any field that records the last time a message was read based on the message time rather than real time. This means that if the last time I read a message was yesterday, and today there are new unread messages, then the last time I read would be today at the time the message was sent.

Example

  • The last read message was yesterday.

  • received a new message at 11 AM today.

  • the_field_i_need: 11 AM

  • continue receiving messages 11:01 AM

  • continue receiving messages 11:02 AM

  • the_field_i_need: 11 AM

The reason I need that field is because I'm developing a time count up, how long it's been since we got new messages.

Example, based on the above example.

  • present is 11:15 AM.

I will show the count up time of 15 minutes (the new message has been 15 minutes do not answer yet).

In my example, when there is a new message today, if I use the field last_message_at and show the count up, it will display the hour from yesterday.

Screenshots

Hello @minhth1529 , I am not sure whether I understand well the request.
