Hi Losant Team!  
I have this

 ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/getstructure/original/2X/7/7bb48de9b3804d0e3d60d8439af1597f23707221.png)

And i want to know if there is a way to return a boolean or value from the worflow that the button triggers to show an alert. Is it possible with a block input control? or i need a custom html?

Thanks 🙂

Just to confirm, you’re looking for this button to trigger a workflow and display a custom value? If so, you would want to employ a [Custom HTML Block](https://docs.losant.com/dashboards/custom-html/) that hits an endpoint or webhook.

If you have any further questions, please let me know more specific details on your project and I’ll be happy to help!

Hi Sebastian.  
Yes, I was looking for the workflow to return a value that triggers an alert (the window that appears at the top of the page with a message) on the html page.  
But thanks i will use a Custm HTML Block. 🙂
