Creating a success alert

[Anonymous]

I am trying to create a success alert for when the user submits a form. Unfortunately, I am running into few issues.

In screen 1 the user fills out the form.

The form OnSuccess function is the following:

If(FormType="New",
  Navigate(MyTravelRequestList,ScreenTransition.Fade,{SuccessMessage:"New Request Created"}),
  Back()
)

In Screen 2 I have a group with Rectangle, X icon and text field
The groups visible property is set to this function:

If(IsBlank(SuccessMessage),false,true)

Now This does work as I launch the App the Success Alert is not visible and when I create a new record it does display the message. However I can not get the X (close the alert) button to work.

This is what I put with no success:

UpdateContext(SuccessMessage:"")

UpdateContext(SuccessMessage:blank())

None of them work and I get this error:

The first argument of 'UpdateContext' should be a record. 

Picture:

Any help appreciated. Maybe there are better ways to implement a success alert message? Also I need to use a variable for the message as it will not always be the same message for success.

I found my mistake, very silly one, you can delete this post.

Forgot to add { } for Context variables

In order to fix replace:

UpdateContext(SuccessMessage:"")

With:

UpdateContext({SuccessMessage:""})

Hi @Anonymous!

Do you know if is possyble to, instead of click on close botton, give a 2 seconds time to 'pop1' desappear?

Thank you.

@rgparisoto, 
I came across this post but looking into another approach:

varShowMessage:false
This variable controls the visibility of the SuccessMessage.
OnSucess (when the form has been transmitted)
   varShowMessage:true
   start a timer (duration 3s)
OnTimerEnd
  varShowMessage:false

Thats the theory 🙂

I cant't make the timer start when the form is in Edit mode.

There is no longer a need to show success messages this way.

PowerApps now has a Notify() function that will display a success/warning/error/info message.

More on Notify()

I have just figured a simple solution for this try the following code in the button 'OnSelect' properties.:

SubmitForm(EditForm2);Notify("Form Submitted",Success)
