# alert

The `alert` step type rings the terminal bell and optionally prints a message, a small building block for grabbing attention when a long-running custom command or workflow finishes or needs input.

```yaml
steps:
  - name: notify
    type: alert
    content: Workflow complete.
```

## Fields

- **`content`**
  Optional message to print after the alert. Supports templates.

Use `alert` at the end of long-running workflows when a terminal notification is useful.
