Notify function in Power Apps – simple notification window for user

Author: Martin Bradáč

Power Apps doesn´t have a typical “Pop-Up” window you may know from other development environments.

But if you need to simply notify user, you have a nice option – the Notify function. It only needs two parameters – text and a type of notification. You can select from 4 types:

• Error,
• Information,
• Success a
• Warning.

It only affects the visual style – color and icon, as you can see here. There is no impact besides of style.

Notify(“Sample- Error”;NotificationType.Error)

Notify(“Sample- Information”;NotificationType.Information)

Notify(“Sample- Success”;NotificationType.Success)

Notify(“Sample- Warning”;NotificationType.Warning)

The voluntary third parameter is Timeout. It declares,  ehm… timeout, the length of appearance in milliseconds. It empty or 0, it will be open until closing by users.
