What is the Message Action?
The Message Action displays a message box on the screen. This is useful in giving a user instructions, information or feedback while the script is running.
Note: Once a Message Action has posted a message box, the Botflow will not continue until a user clicks the message's OK button. It is recommended to avoid using a Message Action if you plan on running the Botflow unattended.
