Display Message when User Submits Form
After the user submits the form/workflow, the browser will display a standard page standard frevvo page with a text message. For example, the message might say, “Thank you for completing our form.” You supply the specific text in the Message field. This option works best for relatively brief messages. It can be tricky to enter or edit large amounts of text in the wizard's Message field, so for verbose messages consider creating a simple HTML page for your message and choosing the Forward User to your Web Page wizard.
The message can be customized, using the wizard's control dropdown, with values the user enters into the form. For example, if your form contains a fields named firstName and lastName, you can set your message to "Thank you {firstName} {lastName}". Now when a user submits the form the controls templates {firstName} and {lastName} will automatically be replaced with field values "Thank you, Joe Smith". See using templates Using Templates in formForm/docDoc/error actions Error Actions for full details.
Another useful message is to display a link back to the form. For example the display message:

...
Open the workflow properties, and select the Workflow Actions tab. Click the Forward Users to a webpage of your choice radio button. Add the URL (configured like this example) to the URL field. After the last step is submitted, the user will be redirected to PayPal for payment processing.

If you need PayPal integration in specific step of a workflow, add a link control in that step with above URL and set return URL pointing back to current step of the workflow using built-in data. They can then submit the step and the workflow will continue as designed.
Error
These wizards optionally allow you to customize what the user sees if an error occurs. You can either display a message or forward users to a web page of your choice. The wizards behave exactly like the corresponding Form Action wizards above. The Display message can be customized to display the actual error that occurred by adding the special {_frevvo_root_cause_msg} template to your message text. This is helpful for debugging, especially if your you are using Onlineusing frevvo Online.
