Introduction
Display a message to the end user on a device during an automation run. Unlike User Approval, this action doesn't wait for a response — it delivers information and the pipeline continues.
Use it to keep end users informed about what's happening on their device: a disk space warning, a completed update, a scheduled maintenance window, or anything else worth surfacing.
Notify User Action
From the automation pipeline in edit mode, click + and select Notify user from the Notifications category.
