## Add Links

To use a link in the toast message body, enter {key}, where key is an identifier of your choosing. The configuration panel shows a link configuration for each unique key.

You're only required to fill in the fields listed in this section if you're using one or more link keys.

## Considerations

- A single action element can show only one toast message. To show multiple messages, create multiple elements.
- A maximum of three toast messages can show on the screen at any one time. If your flow can potentially show four or more messages at one time, later messages don't show up until the user dismisses earlier messages.
