Question (Jeroen van Herten):

On a barcode scanner device we use the Universal GUI, we want to send feedback to the user using sounds without any text message. In the SF we can add a audio file to a message, but this only seems possible in combination with a popup/panel text message. Is there a way to only send audio? 

Note: An empty translation for the message still popups an empty box in the GUI which we don’t want.

 

Reply (Mark Jongeling):

I dont think that's possible at the moment. Throwing a message with audio without the message was not part of the implementation. But I can imagine this could be handy in some scenarios. Maybe the None (surpress) message location could be used for this, or a new one - Audio only. Feel free to create an idea for this

 

Idea:

The idea is to introduce Message location Audio only, as suggested by Mark Jongeling.

As a result, the function of the existing Message locations remains unaffected.

@Anne Buit, ​@Arie V you gave me this suggestion earlier this week for the same scenario. Good idea, but we encountered the same problem. 

Importantly, especially for successful transactions, we like using only an audio signal, without popups or snack bars to keep the process fast and seamless. This approach minimizes interruptions while still providing clear feedback to the user.

Any developments on this?
