    Hi,

    You can try this. This will be feasible only if your plugin is Sync and not Async.

    You can have a separate workflow to show this message. The workflow will fire of a separate flag.

    1. The plugin will set the flag to Yes if it is No and No if it is Yes. Add this functionality to the current entity.

    2. On the change of this flag, show a real-time workflow to just show message saying whatever you want it to display.

    3. You can use Stop Workflow step to show this message.

    Hope this works.

    Hi ,

    In case of plugin you can't call client side scripting, anyway using custom action you can achieve this.

    1. Create JS function on change of field on customer to call action.

    2. Create action and give input parameters which is required while creating contact

    3. Create custom action and return output parameter which you need to get into JS.

    4. Inside JS check returned value and show alert.

    Hi

    There are are few different options to go about this but I would recommend the following

    When a sync plugin executes, the form refreshes with fields value changes. So you could add flag field to your Customer entity, lets call the flag field - Display Message and by default it will be set to No. Once the plugin created the contact successfully, it will set this flag field value to Yes. Since your plugin is sync, the updated value will be reflected on the form. You could have a javascript function that triggers onload of the form and onchange of this field and checks if this flag field value is YES. if so, it will display the message and reset the flag to No.

    Note : If there are more than one users will be working on the account at the same time, you will have to store the User ID as well to only display the message to the user who triggered the plugin to create the Contact.
