Can we give a pop up to a user after an action?

Question

We don't think our users read the logs they get after taking actions in the web interface. We'd like to alert a pop up after an action has been taken by a user to deliver them a message. We know we can send emails but we don't want to spam the users with a bunch of emails after every possible action they can take.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Hello Spencer,

You can use Business Rules triggering After an operation to display the required message in the Execution Log. However, the execution log will contain all the Business Rules triggered by the operation and performed actions, not only the one with the message. Unfortunately, there is currently no other possibility. However, we have the feature in our roadmap.

If the approach meets your needs, the Business Rule should look like the following: In the run PowerShell script action, use the below script, where <TEXT> should be replaced with the message you need to output.

$Context.LogMessage("<TEXT>", "Information")

Comments

Yeah I was hoping for something more like a pop up box. We do a ton of tasks and the logs look like a jumbled mess so it'd be nice to share a quick message with the user instead of making them dig through the logs to find things or spamming them with emails after every action.

Thank you for clarifying. Unfortunately, there is no such possibility.
