Show Message Action

Use the Show Message action to display a message to the user, such as when you want to validate values entered on a record form. The action displays the message in a popup window with an OK button. Unlike the Return User Error or Confirm actions, the Show Message action does not prevent subsequent user actions on the record form.

The following screenshot shows the execution of the Show Message action:

Workflow definitions require a trigger configuration that initiates the workflow, executes an action within a workflow or transitions the workflow from one state to another.
