# Set Form Event Status Message

{% hint style="info" %}
**Block Information**

Available in: Page Flow

Toolbox Category: Form

Block Type: [Regular](/app-editor/page-flow/block-anatomy.md#regular-block)
{% endhint %}

The **`Set Form Event Status Message`** block is used to show a message to the user. 

<div align="left"><figure><img src="/files/Pis3TNLGPLb9p1M6jJsg" alt="" width="374"><figcaption><p>Set Form Event Status Message block</p></figcaption></figure></div>

The block's behavior varies based on the context in which it's used, as outlined below:

* Within the [Form Events block's](/app-editor/page-flow/toolbox-blocks/form-events.md) *Submit Tasks*, *Success Tasks* and *Error Tasks* [flow parameter](/app-editor/page-flow/block-anatomy.md#flow-parameters) context, this block will replace the form's customized success and error messages. In this scenario, it's advisable to employ the [Alert Text](/app-editor/page-flow/toolbox-blocks/alert-text.md) block to convey your message.
* Outside the [Form Events block's](/app-editor/page-flow/toolbox-blocks/form-events.md) *Submit Tasks*, *Success Tasks* and *Error Tasks* [flow parameters](/app-editor/page-flow/block-anatomy.md#flow-parameters) context, the message will appear in the form's general status section. Here, it's recommended to utilize the [Alert Text](/app-editor/page-flow/toolbox-blocks/alert-text.md) block in its *dismissible* setting to showcase your message.

The block consists of a [Value Parameter](/app-editor/page-flow/block-anatomy.md#value-parameters) that accepts an [text](/app-editor/page-flow/references/value-types.md) value containing the message.

{% hint style="warning" %}
This block only works when used in *Form* type pages. See [Working With Forms](/app-editor/page-editor/working-with-forms.md) to learn about how forms work.

## Usage Example

The image below shows an example of the **`Set Form Event Status Message`** block.

<figure><img src="/files/AaS6szY8ZTopxyQTKTb3" alt=""><figcaption><p>Set Form Event Status block example 1</p></figcaption></figure>

In the above case, since the block is used outside of the [Form Events block's](/app-editor/page-flow/toolbox-blocks/form-events.md) *Submit Tasks*, *Success Tasks* and *Error Tasks* [flow parameter](/app-editor/page-flow/block-anatomy.md#flow-parameters) context, the message will appear in the form's general status section as shown in the image below.

<figure><img src="/files/OrXuWXjUg52zygZY8hgn" alt=""><figcaption><p>Result of example 1</p></figcaption></figure>

For the next example, we will use the **`Set Form Event Status Message`** block inside the [Form Events block's](/app-editor/page-flow/toolbox-blocks/form-events.md) *Success Tasks* [flow parameter](/app-editor/page-flow/block-anatomy.md#flow-parameters) as shown in the image below.

<figure><img src="/files/ZKEAZUj2onn52rjVfN91" alt=""><figcaption><p>Set Form Event Status block example 2</p></figcaption></figure>

This time the message provided replaces the customized success message and is displayed after the form was submitted successfully.&#x20;
