Workflow can't show popup messages to the users.

the message you are trying to set will be stored inside the log of the workflow, not prompted to the user.

if you want to prompt a popup to users it can be done only client side, so you need to use javascript.

For Real-time workflows is possible to prompt the user with an error message when then workflow is stopped with the status of canceled:

A simple solution is to create a task using "create" in the workflow and puting your message in the task. When the workflow completes go and read the task then delete it. This works for me :)

This is incorrect in 2021. Maybe 2014 classic workflows couldn't show error messages. But they definitely can now.

Go into the properties of your "stop workflow" step, there you can set the "value" which is the message that will be displayed.
