How to trigger to show the message in a flow

Im struggling to understand how to display the message in a flow? is that possible or can it only be trigged using code?

Styling/formatting

Great app to get users attention! Wanted to confirm that is there availability to change fond style (e.g Bold) and display multiple message in separate lines in one prompt as per today's date? Thanks, Deeksha

Great... and a note about using in LWCs

This, combined with conditional rendering in lightning app builder, has allowed us to really quickly draw our user's attentions to specific items. The one thing to note is if you are trying to integrate the component into your LWCs is the documentation is wrong. All the example tags in documentation start in the users namespace (<c-lwc-messaging-utility>) instead of the actual namespace of the package (<ltngmu-lwc-messaging-utility>).

Whe try to setup the message entire detail part got vanished

When trying to setup the message entire detail part got vanished. Is there any support available to get contact with on this.

Needs to work on mobile

I was really excited about this utility and updated one of our opportunity lightning record pages in our sandbox. The new messages look great with the icon and background color, and they really grab your attention, which is what we need. Unfortunately, the only form factor supported is desktop. The majority of our users are mobile. Is this a lack of functionality in the utility or in the platform? We were ready to adopt this until we discovered mobile is not supported. This is a show-stopper for us adopting the utility as our standard until it is supported on mobile.

Sadness... It it's not mobile it's just not complete to compete these days.

Nice, but has some limitations

This is a nice add on if you have very basic messaging use cases. (i.e.- Field value is missing so the alert is there to remind the user to fill out the field) If you put a prompt type on a lightning page layout, the component takes over the page builder and you can't interact with any of the other components until you change the message type to anything but prompt. This is very strange. Also, once you add the component to your layout, responsiveness in the builder gets really slow. You are headed in a nice direction, but this one needs some refinement to make it worthwhile.

Were you able to figure out how to use a merge field in the alert message?

Great replacement for our custom component(s)

Nice package with all the features needed to extend our lightning pages with visual indicators. The only thing missing for me is to have the "Success" message variant for alerts.

Only use by Admin only

Unfortunately the message is only visible to admin users only. Is there a way to make it visible to all users?

Running into the same issue - the banners are only visible to admins. I just tested a full uninstall and reinstall with no luck. Were you ever able to find a fix, Jean?

Nice, needs a couple of additions/fixes

Very nice and simple component, it let me get rid of a few VF components on lightning pages used just to display messages. Thanks! Additions: would really like the ability to have a larger font size, even if was fixed (e.g. "large"), and different font style, e.g. bold. Fixes: when editing an existing page in the Lightning page editor, the component always shows the icon, even when "show icon" is unchecked. Clicking and unclicking the icon will then correct the display, but it reverts every time the page is newly opened for editing. (Alert message type)

Hi Vince, Thankyou for adding additional request for style and fond. I am facing the same issue. Are you aware if they gave this functionally under this app to change styling/formatting? Thanks, Deeksha

Absolutely worthless

I'm sure this is a wonderful program if you can get it running, but I couldn't. I installed it and...nothing. Worse still, the link to the setup instructions really just goes to a presentation of all the things you can do once it is deployed. Which is no use at all if you can't deploy it! Sometimes with free apps, you get what you pay for!

Ah, THAT is what I was looking for all along! Thanks. I'm still not sure if this is the right solution for us, but I rescind my complaint about workability. :)

All feedback is appreciated as you may not be the only person having this problem, I'm the app's developer and more than happy to get it sorted. I have updated the setup guide to add some guidance on using the app. Once it's installed, there's no setup or configuration needed, you can just start using it. On pages 4 & 5 I've outlined how to add the component to pages in the Lightning App Builder. This is all that you will need to get started. Please let me know if this helps you out at all.

Stephan, Thank you for your comment. Please rest assured, I would not have left such a scathing review had there been any way at all of contacting Salesforce Labs for help. But as far as I can tell, they seem to make a point of preventing that! What kind of trouble am I having? Exactly what I said above: literally nothing happens when I install it. It's there in the Installed Apps list, but...that's it. No prompts for setting up, no new app appears anywhere, nothing. As I noted above, the provided "setup instructions" really aren't that at all, they just tell you how to use it once it is up and running. Which is no help at all if you can't get it up and running. If you have any tips on what I'm missing as far as making the app work, I'm all ears. But Salesforce Labs really should have provided that upfront.

Thanks for the feedback David, what kind of trouble are you having? Once the package is installed you can use it anywhere in the lighting app builder, I apologies that this isn't descriptive enough. There is a great trailhead module here on how you can use the lighting app builder: https://trailhead.salesforce.com/en/content/learn/modules/lightning_app_builder In the docs, you can check out page 4 where it describes each attribute and what they do. It would be great to help yo you be successful with the app!
