Your alerts are empty because you are setting the message _after_ the alert is confirmed by the user. You need to set the message _before_ you do “in Alert1 call Show” (put the “set Message” block above the “in Alert1 call Show” block). ---

@jane The [documentation for Alerts](https://docs.thunkable.com/alert) could probably use a little revising. There’s not a good example of using the property blocks (Title, Message, etc.) and the one screenshot that’s provided – while a valid use of blocks – might be a bit misleading. ---

Thanks Tatiang I was also struggling with this. I am going to file a bug report. As you say the documentation and examples are not adequate. ---
