How to set up custom error messages in Adalo?

Step 1: Navigate to Your Adalo App

Open up your Adalo app and head over to the editor panel. Make sure you're in the right project where you want to set up those custom error messages.

Step 2: Select the Component

Find the component or screen where you want the custom error message to show up. Maybe it's a form where users enter data.

Step 3: Set Up Validation Logic

Add some logic to validate user input. You can do this with visibility rules or conditional actions.

  • In the component’s settings, go to "Actions".
  • Set up an action to check the condition (e.g., if an input field is empty).

Step 4: Add a Text Component for the Error Message

Drag a new text component onto the screen where you want the error message to pop up. This text component will show your custom error message.

Step 5: Configure the Visibility of the Error Message

Set the visibility rules for the error message text component:

  • Click on the error message text component.
  • Go to "Visibility" options.
  • Set the visibility to be conditional based on your validation logic. For example, if an input field is empty, make the error message text component visible.

Step 6: Customize the Error Message Text

Click on the error message text component and customize the text to your liking. Write the specific error message you want to show (e.g., "Please fill out this field").

Step 7: Test Your Setup

Preview your app and test the form or component to make sure the custom error message shows up when the validation condition is met (e.g., leaving a required field blank).

Step 8: Fine-tuning

Adjust the positioning, style, and content of the error message as needed to fit the design and user experience of your app.

Make sure to save your changes and publish the app when you're happy with how the error messages work.
