Displaying sorted results using notify action in a for loop

Question

Hello - has anybody tried displaying sorted results using Notify action within a for loop? We are invoking notify within a for loop and passing it an employee list that is sorted by the last name. However the results displayed are not ordered. It seems like notifications are sent at random. Kindly share any insights / solutions if you have encountered this.

- for:
output_key: sent_notifications
each: employee
index: idx
in: data.merge_result.employees
steps:
- notify:
output_key: notification_result
recipient_id: meta_info.user.id
message:
RENDER():
args:
full_name: employee.full_name
country: employee.country
total_pending: employee.total_pending
preview_trainings: employee.preview_trainings

template: |
👤 **{{full_name}}** – {{country}}
🗒 **{{total_pending}} pending training(s)**

{{preview_trainings}}

Hi ​@Mudi,If sorting data within themessage object, that card will always be static and render exactly as you design it.In your example though, you are trying to order multiple, individual Notify messages and send them to your same AI Assistant chat. In this case, proactive notifications can be batched, delayed due to rate limits, retried, etc. These messages might not always send in the same order due to these constraints, hence why you are seeing them arrive in a different order.In this case, is there a need to send messages to users in a specific order?Best,Ryan
