Toast Notification ​

Display customizable floating toast messages, banners, and milestone alerts on the web page during automated execution.

Overview ​

The Toast Notification field type renders non-intrusive on-screen visual banners directly inside the active browser tab. It helps operators and QA testers track real-time automation milestones, observe dynamic variables, and view debugging feedback as forms are populated.

Message Templating ​

Inject values from the active .xlsx record using {$ColumnName$}:

text
Processing customer: {$CustomerName$} (Account: {$AccountID$})

Predefined System Variables ​

Incorporate time stamps, random tokens, or row indexes:

text
Row #{$EDF_ROW_INDEX$} completed successfully at {$DATETIME_NOW$}

Practical Examples ​

Example 1: Submission Confirmation Toast ​

text
Message: Form successfully submitted for {$FullName$}!
Notification Gravity: top
Notification Position: right
Notification Types: success
Duration: 3500

Example 2: Milestone Debug Warning ​

text

Best Practices ​

  • Keep Messages Concise: Short single-line alerts ensure optimal readability without blocking page interactions.
  • Set Appropriate Durations: 3000–4000 milliseconds is ideal for operators to read notices without visual clutter.
  • Choose Non-Blocking Corners: Use top-right or bottom-right to avoid obscuring central form buttons.
