Add a Fire Notification Action

You add a Fire Notification action to display a notification to the user in the browser window.

There are four types of notifications: Info, Error, Warning and Confirmation. The notifications display a summary and a message underneath:

To add a Fire Notification action:

1. Drag Fire Notification from the Actions palette onto the empty canvas, onto an Add icon ( ), or between existing actions in the chain. The Properties pane displays the action's parameters:

2. Update the ID field in the Properties pane to make the action more easily identifiable.
3. Enter a summary of the notification in the Summary field.
4. Enter the message you want to display in the Message field.

   The message can be a static string (The name was updated.) or can contain variables ({{ 'Could not create new Contacts: status ' + $chain.results.createContacts.payload.status }}).

5. For Display Mode, specify how the notification is to be dismissed. Choose Transient for the notification to go away on its own after a few seconds, or Persist for the notification to stay until the user closes it.
6. Select a Notification Type to specify the look of the notification window.
7. Select the Target to specify where you want the event to be fired. Choose current to have the event fire where it is executed and then all the way up the hierarchy. Choose leaf (or leave the setting undefined) to have the event fire at the bottom of the hierarchy.
