Does zendesk zaf have the ability to prompt for confirmation?

Hello Andrew,

I didn't hear about such feature. When I need confirmation in pop-up, then I use modal location. You can add confirm/cancel buttons and set local storage item on confirm. Then you can check if local storage item is presented in modal close callback to see if agent confirmed the action.

Best regards,
Andriy

Andriy,
How are you returning values back from the modal? I'm using 

Hi Andrew,

You can send events between locations, but I don't remember how to do it. Usually, I use local storage for stuff like that (all app locations share it). So, for example, you need to add an onClick event for a confirm button like this:

const onClick = () => localStorage.setItem('confirm', 'confirmed')

Then, you need to add a handler for the modal.close event in the place where you create modal window like that:

client.invoke('instances.create', options).then(context => {
  const modalClient = client.instance(context['instances.create'][0].instanceGuid)

  modalClient.on('modal.close',() => {
    const isConfirmed = localStorage.getItem('confirmed') === 'confirmed'
     if(isConfirmed) {
      // Make sure to clear localStorage to make sure agent will need to confirm future actions
      localStorage.removeItem('confirmed')
      
      // Here you can do any action on confirmation
      handleConfirm()
     }
  });
});

Hi @andrew11, @leafworks12,

Here's a link to a section of our documentation that details how two app instances can interact with one another:

Messaging between locations

Here is a link to a Github repository demonstrating the concept using a top bar and background app:

I hope this helps! Feel free to reach out with any questions.

I ended up using the local storage option this time around. I did take a look at how to use the client.on("trigger name",()) and the client.trigger("trigger name", "") options but I couldn't wrap my head about how you pass the sidebar client to the modal for it to call back. I'll have to play around with it some more before it clicks, but for now the local storage option works for what I'm doing.

Thanks,
