The alert block is a toned callout: information, success, warning, or destructive. Pair it with conditional visibility and it becomes a status banner that appears exactly when it should.
Try it: Pick a tone for the first alert. The second one is a status banner: change the record's Status and it appears only while the order is on hold.
Settings
Info
Deliveries pause over the Easter weekend. Orders placed after Thursday ship on Tuesday.
Warning
This order is on hold: awaiting a credit check for Beck & Söhne.
Example. Two alert blocks. The first shows the chosen tone. The second has Visible if set to RECORD[Status] = “On hold” and a body that pulls [Hold reason] from the record, so it renders only for orders that are on hold.
Optional bold heading inside the callout. Unlike other blocks, an alert never gets a separate heading above it.
Body
Formula → Markdown
A formula producing the message, with [Column] references on record pages.
Conditional banners
Set the block's Visible if to something like RECORD[Status] = "Blocked" and the alert only renders for blocked records — a state banner with zero code.
Like every block, this one also has the shared block settings: an optional title (which shows as a heading above the block) with a description under it, auto-height, conditional visibility, and role-based visibility.
