// Function node: Format notification by type
var temp = msg.payload.temperature;
var type, message;

if (temp > 40) {
    type = "error";
    message = "CRITICAL: Temperature at " + temp + "°C!";
} else if (temp > 30) {
    type = "warning";
    message = "Warning: Temperature elevated (" + temp + "°C)";
} else {
    type = "info";
    message = "Temperature normal: " + temp + "°C";
}

msg.payload = message;
msg.highlight = type === "error" ? "red" :
                type === "warning" ? "orange" : "green";
msg.timeout = type === "error" ? 0 : 5; // Errors don't auto-dismiss

return msg;

Example: Confirmation Dialog

// Notification node configuration:
{
  "layout": "dialog",
  "ok": "Confirm",
  "cancel": "Cancel",
  "highlight": "blue"
}

// Input message:
