Show Message
1 Introduction
With the show-message action you can show a blocking or non-blocking message to the user.
2 Action Properties
2.1 Type
Type defines the color scheme and icon of the message.
There are three message options:
- Information
- Warning
- Error
Default value: Information
2.2 Template
Template defines the text of the message. The template can contain parameters that are written as a number between braces, for example, {1}. The first parameter has number 1, the second 2 etcetera.
2.3 Parameters
For each parameter in the template you define a microflow expression of which the value will be inserted at the position of the parameter. Parameters need to be entered using expressions resulting in a string.
$customer/FullName will show the full name of the customer to whom an email has been sent.
2.4 Blocking
Blocking defines whether the message appears with a hover on top of the existing form(s).
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
| Yes | The message appears in a pop-up in the center of the screen on a blocking overlay, rendering the background inaccessible until the pop-up is closed. |
| No | The message appears in a pop-up in the center of the screen but does not block the rest of the window, allowing the user to continue what they were doing with the pop-up open. |
Default value: Yes
