# Confirmation Message Box

The **Confirmation Message Box** action is designed to display a customizable message box to the user, typically in workflows triggered by client-side actions like **Custom Button**. This action is particularly useful for gathering user confirmation or feedback before proceeding with the workflow.

#### Important Notes:

-   This action can only be used on the client side.
-   It is incompatible with server-side triggers such as **At Scheduled Time** or workflows that have the **Run on server** option enabled.

### Configuration Options

**Message Text**

-   A **rich text box** allows you to input any message to be displayed to the user.
-   You can format the message, insert links, or customize it as needed to provide clear instructions or information.

**Type of Message Window**

-   Use the **Type of the message window** dropdown to define the behavior and available actions for the user:
    -   **Yes / No**: Offers the user a Yes/No choice (e.g., proceed or cancel the action).
    -   **OK**: Displays a single confirmation button to acknowledge the message.
    -   **OK / Cancel**: Provides the user with the option to confirm or cancel the action.

### Example Use Case

-   **Scenario**: You have a custom button that triggers a workflow to delete selected records. Before proceeding, you want to confirm the action with the user.
    -   Add the **Confirmation Message Box** action.
    -   Set the message text to: *"Are you sure you want to delete these records? This action cannot be undone."*
    -   Choose the **Yes / No** option for the message type.
    -   Based on the user’s choice, the workflow can **continue** or **terminate**.

This action ensures an additional layer of user interaction and decision-making, enhancing control and clarity in client-side workflows.
