# Show Popup

| **Modified in Version** | 7.12.0 |
| **Location** | Communication > Notification |

The **Show Popup** step is a **Notification** step in the **Communication** category that is used to display a popup message within the Decisions environment at the top of the window. This is useful as a means of send communication internally without having to send an email or use any external services. This message can be set to display for everyone within the **Studio**/**Portal**, or to a specific Account within the environment.

## Pop Ups with Custom URL Parameters

In Version 9.10+, support was added to display popups in environments where the portals top bar is hidden via [URL Parameters](https://documentation.decisions.com/docs/custom-url-parameters). To ensure popup notifications display in this view, the following setting must be enabled:

- Navigate to System > Settings > [Portal Settings](https://documentation.decisions.com/docs/portal-settings).
- Set "Display Notification with Hidden Top Bar" to True.

When this setting is enabled, popup messages triggered by the Show Popup step will continue to appear even in chrome-less mode (chrome=off in the URL).
