By Thomas Underwood 🕑 Updated on May 18, 2022 at 2:00 pmAutomation Workshop features direct user interaction Actions that can be deployed anywhere within the Task. When executing an Action from the Dialog Boxes category, Automation Workshop displays a dialog window and requires the user to answer a yes-no question, input a value, or specify a folder.
Dialog Boxes can have a custom title, and fixed or automatically generated text as their contents. Dialog boxes are visually emphasized by graphical icons and can be instantly brought to the foreground to grab the user's attention. Use the Text to Speech Action's Talk in the background feature to make dialog boxes even more interactive!
