# Send Message to User

The "Send Message to User" Action node enables the sending of a message to a user.

The message is visible only in the web interface / website and requires confirmation by clicking OK. This functionality can be utilized, for instance, to update the user on the progress of a workflow that may not be visible on the dashboard.

By enabling the 'Expand dialog width' option, the node will utilize a maximum width of 1800 pixels. If the screen window is resized, the width will adjust to occupy the maximum available size.
