Display An Alert Message Conditionally

In this guide, we will walk through how to display an Alert message dynamically on the form when a user checks a Checkbox field.

This is achieved using a “Field Update Workflow” field, which evaluates a condition and triggers the “Alert Message” field.

This setup is useful when you want to:

  • Show warnings or important notices
  • Display conditional instructions
  • Guide users based on their input

1. INITIAL SETUP:

  • Drag and drop a “Checkbox”, “Alert Message” and a “Field Update Workflow” field onto your form.
  • Rename the fields as needed.

2. CONFIGURE THE “ALERT MESSAGE” FIELD:

  • Click the pencil icon on the “Alert Message” field.
  • Set “Alert Message Position”: This controls the placement of the message, ensuring it is displayed in a noticeable location.
  • Add an “Alert Message”: Text you want to display on the form. This is the main content that users will see, so keep it clear and easy to understand.
  • Add “Alert Message Type”: This helps users quickly understand the importance and context of the message through visual styling.
  • Set “Alert Message Display Duration in Seconds”: It will set how long the alert message should remain visible on the screen.
