Notifying the user after dispatching a background job once creating a new entry.

Right now im tackling it from the model's pov .. in Brief.php i have this part of code -

  protected static function booted()
    {
        static::created(function ($brief) {
            GenerateContentForBrief::dispatch($brief);
        });
    }

  protected static function booted()
    {
        static::created(function ($brief) {
            GenerateContentForBrief::dispatch($brief);
        });
    }

The job itself is doing bunch of things and eventually creates a new Article entry.. How can i notify the user in filament that their job is done? (Right now im using database driver for my jobs)

oh! thanks! btw, @Leandro Ferreira , a bit unrelated, but maybe u can help as well - on the created function from before - is there an option to retrieve the relationship too? i guess those are created after the model itself is created, but changing the event to saved didn't help me neither loading the relationship actively ($brief->load('sections')) .. The Brief model has a hasMany relationship with the Section model and im creating it with a filament repeater -

Section::make('Brief Sections')
                    ->description('Add all brief sections')
                    ->schema([
                        Repeater::make('sections')
                            ->columnSpanFull()
                            ->relationship('sections')
                            ->schema([
                                Forms\Components\Textarea::make('name')
                                    ->required()
                                    ->columnSpanFull(),
                                Forms\Components\Textarea::make('specific_instructions')
                                    ->columnSpanFull(),
                                Forms\Components\TextInput::make('words_count')
                                    ->numeric()
                                    ->default(0),
                                Forms\Components\Toggle::make('is_expandable')
                                    ->required(),
                            ]),
                    ]),

            ]);

Section::make('Brief Sections')
                    ->description('Add all brief sections')
                    ->schema([
                        Repeater::make('sections')
                            ->columnSpanFull()
                            ->relationship('sections')
                            ->schema([
                                Forms\Components\Textarea::make('name')
                                    ->required()
                                    ->columnSpanFull(),
                                Forms\Components\Textarea::make('specific_instructions')
                                    ->columnSpanFull(),
                                Forms\Components\TextInput::make('words_count')
                                    ->numeric()
                                    ->default(0),
                                Forms\Components\Toggle::make('is_expandable')
                                    ->required(),
                            ]),
                    ]),

            ]);

But then, on the model's created (or saved) event(s) i get an empty array when trying to access $brief->sections.. for example (using saved method along with the attempt to load the relationship actively) -

  protected static function booted()
    {
        static::saved(function ($brief) {
            $brief->load('sections');
            dd($brief->sections);
        });
    }

  protected static function booted()
    {
        static::saved(function ($brief) {
            $brief->load('sections');
            dd($brief->sections);
        });
    }

I guess its more laravel-related, but just making sure its not something i'm missing the filament way well, never mind, i solved it via filament's afterCreate() method
