When another Web Flow calls the Open Modal Action, the Web Flow that was opened as a modal must call the Close Modal Action to return to the original Web Flow. The Close Modal Action has a Return Value that can be used to send data back to the original Web Flow.

If the current Web Flow is not being presented as a modal, this Action has no effect.

Use Cases

• A modal where the user must confirm their action to continue
• A modal to ensure the user accepts Terms & Conditions before continuing
• A modal to allow the user to create or edit data in a list

Properties

Is Successful

If this is checked, the Return Value field will be available.

An unsuccessful modal can only return NULL.

Return Value

The Open Modal Action has an Output field. That Output field will be set to whatever is specified in this Return Value field.

The Return Value can be a variable, constant, or any Airscript expression.

Example

In the example below, a modal opens when the user presses the Edit Info Button, which allows them to edit their car information. The submit button uses the Close Modal Action which closes the modal. Data can be passed from the Modal web flow to the original web page using the "Return Value" on the Close Modal action and the Output binding on the Open Modal action.
