Toast Notifications

Confirmation dialogs interrupt. They stop whatever you were doing, demand your attention, and require you to dismiss them before continuing. For important, irreversible actions — deleting a record, sending a document — this interruption is appropriate. For routine, easily reversible operations, it's friction.

Toast notifications solve the routine case.

Confirmation Without Interruption

When you save a record, a small notification appears briefly in the corner of the screen. "Record saved." It confirms the action, stays visible for a few seconds, and disappears on its own. You never clicked anything to dismiss it.

Your attention never left the record you were working on. The workflow continues uninterrupted. The confirmation was there — visible, clear — but it didn't require your participation to go away.

Positioned Out of the Way

Toasts appear in a fixed position — typically the bottom corner of the viewport — chosen deliberately to not overlap with the content you're working on. The confirmation is visible without obstructing the record, the form, or the list view you were interacting with.

Multiple toasts stack without overlapping each other. Each disappears in turn after its display duration.

Different Levels, Different Urgency

Not all notifications are equal. Toasts communicate level through color and iconography:

• Success — green, checkmark icon — action completed as expected
• Info — blue, information icon — something to know, no action needed
• Warning — amber, caution icon — completed, but worth noting something
• Error — red, alert icon — action failed, review the details

Error toasts stay visible until dismissed, since an error usually requires attention before the next action.

With Undo

For actions that are reversible, success toasts can include an undo option. "Status updated to Fulfilled. Undo." Clicking undo within the display window reverses the action.

This brief undo window reduces the stakes of making changes. If you update the wrong record or advance to the wrong status, the correction is one click away for a few seconds after the action.

Toasts are a small detail that shapes the overall feel of using the platform. Quiet confirmations that don't demand attention — the kind of feedback that becomes invisible because it works exactly as expected.
