Excel js add-inmessage toast

[Nikodem98]

Hello,
Is there any way to display a small toast in top right corner of the excel (want to display this toast without using the task pane). I know I can use dialogs for this but it's very annoying to users to close it every time they open a document and it prompts them with "you have to login before using the add-in"

Hi @Nikodem98, Excel currently uses dialogs as the main interaction UI when the add-in wants to notify users. At some point, there's another item on our backlog to provide APIs to control the status bar like below (content/color can be customized), but there's no ETA for that.

That said, we will continue to encourage developers to build such a toast within your task pane using JS, so that you can have a customized interface and logic.

Please let us know if you have any other questions or concerns, thank you!
