Toast / Snackbar

The Toast (or Snackbar) is a brief, non-blocking notification for Power Apps: a small bottom card with a status dot, a message and an optional action like Undo, shown and hidden with a single variable. It is the standard, unobtrusive way to confirm an action without a modal.

# Toast / Snackbar — PowerBlocks (FREE)
# A bottom notification with an icon, message and optional action, toggled by a variable.
# STEP 1 — Show it:  Set(varToast, true)   // hide with Set(varToast, false)
#          (auto-hide: start a Timer of 3000ms on show that sets varToast=false)
# STEP 2 — Paste; the whole group's Visible is bound to varToast.

How to use Toast / Snackbar in Power Apps

1Show it with Set(varToast, true) after an action.
2Click "Copy YAML" — the syntax is invariant and works in every Power Apps locale.
3Paste the control onto your screen.
4For auto-dismiss, start a 3000ms Timer on show whose OnTimerEnd sets Set(varToast, false).

Tip — Recolor the status dot by outcome (green success, red error) and keep the toast anchored to the bottom of the screen.
