@arkimp 
I think we can use an Event workflow to show the message.

Refer below for details.

Hi @arkimp!

 

@Qiu's suggestion to use events is good, however, I wanted to add that you cannot use events inside your macro. 

 

You may try passing the "Log" value out of the macro through a Macro Output tool. You can then use the Message tool or Events in your main workflow.

 

Inside the macro:

In your main workflow:

Try this out and let us know if it works for you.


Thanks,
