I have a form that uses the patch function on submit. How do I show a 'Your request has been submitted!' message after the patch function has executed when a new form is submitted?

If you are using a form control, the form has a onSubmit property that you can use to navigate to a new screen or to show a pop up or a modal with the success message.

However, If you are using a patch function instead of Submit(Form) formula then you can check if there were any errors from the patch(). If there weren't any errors you can navigate to a new screen or show a pop up or a modal with the success message.

Patch(DataSource, Record); If(IsEmpty(Errors(IceCream, EditRecord)), <Show Success Message>, <Show failure message>)

You can find a similar scenario as yours on the page.

Take a look at this article on how to display a dialog using Power Apps.

https://powerapps.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/creating-dialogs-in-powerapps/

Follow those steps and use an UpdateContext() after the Patch() in your onselect to display the dialog. Have a button or 'X' on the dialog to dismiss it and updateContext() to false to make the dialog disappear again.

Put this code in the OnSuccess property of your Form

Notify("Your request has been submitted!", Notification.Success)

This formula doesn't work since I'm using the patch function and not SubmitForm. I'm seeing a lot about using updatecontext, but I haven't fully figured that out yet.

@ahhollan I used this video to do a similar functionality of one of my projects. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SaDEVOgOlYY&list=PLcwrIWK7WBcRyFBAFeC-Ws8kJYAGTc8Qi&index=16

Right! I didn't read carefully enough. Here's the code for PATCH.

Set(varRecord, Patch(your_code_here)); If(!IsBlank(varRecord), Notify("Your request has been submitted!", Notification.Success), Notify("Your request was not submitted", Notification.Failure) );

I had to change Notification to NotificationType, but once I did that it worked. Thanks for all the help. You are always helpful and quick to respond.

There's also a "Success Message" field on the Entity Form where you can simply add the desired message.

This is almost working, but the app won't recognize the .Failure piece, even after switching to NotificationType.Failure. Any suggestions?

NotificationType.Failure isn't a valid option. The correct syntax is NotificationType.Error

Check the Notify function documentation. Notify function in Power Apps - Power Platform | Microsoft Learn
