How to dispatch an event from a Notification Action

I've been trying to dispatch an event from a Notification Action but it's not working. using ->dispatch or ->dispatchSelf seems to do nothing. I've searched around and tried to use ->action() and dispatch using $livewire->dispatch() but action seems to not work on notification Actions. How can I rly dispatch an event from a Notification action?

Notification::make()
  ->success()
  ->title('Portador criado com sucesso!')
  ->actions([                                   \Filament\Notifications\Actions\Action::make('view')
       ->label('Ver Portador')
    // ->url('/admin/business/clients/' .$client->id.'/edit?activeRelationManager=2',true)
       ->dispatchSelf('test-created')
                                    ])
  ->send();

Notification::make()
  ->success()
  ->title('Portador criado com sucesso!')
  ->actions([                                   \Filament\Notifications\Actions\Action::make('view')
       ->label('Ver Portador')
    // ->url('/admin/business/clients/' .$client->id.'/edit?activeRelationManager=2',true)
       ->dispatchSelf('test-created')
                                    ])
  ->send();

Further down in my Resource, there's my method that is attempting to listen to the dispatch event but it never gets there.

 #[On('test-event')]
    public function test()
    {
        dd('here');
    }

 #[On('test-event')]
    public function test()
    {
        dd('here');
    }

Any Thoughts?

I think you should use dispatch() instead of dispatchSelf and be careful of the naming. You are dispatching test-created and listening for test-event

I had to change some things around and forgot to change the name but it doesn't work still, not with dispatch() and not with dispatchSelf()

You have defined an ->action() method. So it won’t do anything on click.

Hello, I don't have an ->action() method on my Action.

toeknee•6mo ago

he means you havent

That’s my point. Actions aren’t livewire components so they aren’t going to just do a dispatch by themselves.

Oh sorry for my misunderstanding then, so what do you suggest? Have an action method as well as a dispatch one? I've tried to dispatch it from the ->action() method and my perception was that it doesn't even go into ->action() method, even a simple dd inside the ->action() method doesn't work.

Something like this, maybe.

Action::make('view')
  ->label('Ver Portador')
  ->action(fn ($livewire) => $livewire->dispatch('test-event')

Action::make('view')
  ->label('Ver Portador')
  ->action(fn ($livewire) => $livewire->dispatch('test-event')

I've already tried it, it's not working, even tried to just ->action(fn ($livewire) => dd($livewire) just to see if it was even getting inside the method but it's not Can it be any behavior with it being a Notification Action?

possibly, it shouldn't matter though. sorry i don't have an app set up with notification's that i can test against at the moment. hmm. according to the docs ->dispatch() should work.

        Action::make('undo')
            ->color('gray')
            ->dispatch('undoEditingPost', [$post->id]),

        Action::make('undo')
            ->color('gray')
            ->dispatch('undoEditingPost', [$post->id]),
