🦄 Better Toast Notifications/Alerts

Showcase Plugins
1

Hey folks!

Quick update to one of our free NQU plugins: Better Toast Notifications/Alerts now has a new, cleaner workflow action for modern toast notifications.

The old action is still there as Send toast notification - legacy, so existing workflows will keep working. The new action is more elegant.

Try it out:

What’s changed

  • New action - use Send toast notification from a workflow, with optional title, description, duration and position.
  • Preset styles - Standard, Info, Loading, Success, Error and Warning.
  • Better icons - leave icons on Auto, hide them completely, or pick from useful defaults like Check, Info, Warning, Loading, Sparkle, Wand, Bell, Star and Heart.
  • Close button controls - choose Hover X, Always X, or Disabled depending on how dismissible the toast should be.
  • Typography controls - use the app’s default Bubble font automatically, or set a custom font family and size preset.

Why we changed it

Previously the plugin’s config was quite manual and the toast looked quite dated.

The new action is deliberately more opinionated. Pick the kind of message you want, set the copy, choose where it appears, and move on.

A couple of notes

You do not need to add an element to the page. This is just a workflow action.

It is web-only. It shows a toast in the user’s current browser tab, not an email, push notification or native mobile notification.

If you use Duration (ms) set to 0, the toast stays visible until dismissed.

Happy building!
