How-To
Simply raise a Python Exception (or your own Exception child class):
raise Exception("Put a user friendly error message here. Typically suggest an action or explain what the user may have done wrong") to pop a notification for users when they hit the issue. Additionally, if you can raise a notification as part of a Python try block as shown here.
try:
# write your normal code here
except XYZException as e:
raise Exception("Put a user friendly error message here. Typically suggest an action or explain what the user may have done wrong")What to Expect (Validation)
Raise the exception where appropriate in the Flow:
Except the error to show up transiently as a toast message in the bottom right or persist (until cleared by the user) in the drawer at the top right and seen by clicking on the bell.
