set-message trigger action

Overview

One or more trigger actions can be set for a named event in the workflow.

When the workflow trigger event occurs the trigger will check that any required conditions are met, and if met the "set-message" action displays an in-app notification message.

"set-message"

The trigger action "set-message" creates a message notification and can include a message title and a body.

It can be set as info, warning or error and can be set to auto-close after a specified period or require a read confirmation.

  • action (set-message

  • type (enum) ❗️ Indicator of the level of the message

    • info

    • warning

    • error

  • title (string) For adding a title to the message

  • body (string) ❗️ For adding content for the body of the message
