Don't show Actions for Database notifications that are marked as read

I have the following database notification:

 Notification::make()
  ->title('Product published')
  ->body('Product published successfully')
       ->actions([
          Action::make('Mark As Read')
             ->button()
             ->markAsRead()
       ])
       ->sendToDatabase($recipient);

 Notification::make()
  ->title('Product published')
  ->body('Product published successfully')
       ->actions([
          Action::make('Mark As Read')
             ->button()
             ->markAsRead()
       ])
       ->sendToDatabase($recipient);

This successfully shows a

Mark As Read

Mark As Read

button on each notification. How can I NOT show the

Mark as Read

Mark as Read

button when the notification is read (e.g. in the notifications table there is a read_at that is not null in such case) I tried it as follows but that does not work:

   Notification::make()
        ->title('Product published')
        ->body('Product published successfully')
        ->actions([
             Action::make('Mark As Read')
                 ->button()
                 ->markAsRead()     
             ])
              ->visible(function (Notification $record) {
                  return $record->read_at !== null;
             })
         ->sendToDatabase($recipient);

   Notification::make()
        ->title('Product published')
        ->body('Product published successfully')
        ->actions([
             Action::make('Mark As Read')
                 ->button()
                 ->markAsRead()     
             ])
              ->visible(function (Notification $record) {
                  return $record->read_at !== null;
             })
         ->sendToDatabase($recipient);

Any idea's?

This is not possible due to how database notifications are serialised to JSON for storager in the database.

OK thanks for the feedback. Was hoping to be able to use the read_at field in the database
