Alert

Alert banners communicate a state that affects the entire system, not just a feature or page.
The Alert is also available as an Experience Cloud Component.

Overview

The Alert Component is a lightweight and customizable component that allows you to display important messages or notifications to the user within a Flow screen. It is typically used to alert the user to a specific event or condition, such as an error, warning, or success message. It can be used to communicate important information or instructions to the user.
The Alert Component consists of a box containing a message and an optional icon, which can be displayed in various styles and colors to indicate the type or severity of the alert. You can customize the appearance and behavior of the Alert Flow Component, including the font, size, and color of the message text, as well as the color and style of the background and border.
