Nakama has [some notifications defined and they are automatic](https://heroiclabs.com/docs/nakama/concepts/notifications/). In the documentation for the chat it’s mentioned _[Users will receive an [in-app notification]](https://heroiclabs.com/docs/nakama/concepts/notifications/)_ _when a request to chat has been received_, but in the defined notifications for this case it is missing.

For friends, there are only 2 notifications:

-User X wants to add you as a friend.  
-User X accepted your friend invitation.

Important ones are missing such as:

- User X removed you from the friend list
- User X blocked you from

Why it’s missing? Any chance it will be added? Does that mean we have to write these notices for the mentioned cases ourselves?

Hello @K8theGR8,

The request to chat would be a notification with code `-1`, the receiving user then has to join the channel to start receiving messages from it in real-time.

You can send custom notifications registering [after hooks](https://heroiclabs.com/docs/nakama/server-framework/introduction/hooks/#after-hooks) for the remove friend and block friend APIs.

Best.
