The Popup Message action displays a JavaScript alert with the message you specify. Because JavaScript alerts have only one button (OK), use this action to provide information rather than to present the user with a choice.
You can embed any valid JavaScript function call, property, global variable, or other expression in the text. To embed a JavaScript expression, place it inside braces ({}
). To display a brace, precede it with a backslash (\{
).
Example | The URL for this page is {window.location}, and today is {new Date()}. |
![]() |
