How do timed transitions work in Adalo?
Use timed Adalo transitions for intentional loading or confirmation states while preserving a manual escape path, predictable navigation, and clear feedback.
The concepts remain useful, but menus, components, and behavior may have changed. Current verification is pending; do not treat exact clicks as current instructions.
Use a timed transition only for a short, predictable state such as confirmation or onboarding, and ensure the destination does not depend on unfinished work.
The intended outcome
A short-lived screen that advances reliably and remains accessible.
Requirements
- Source and destination screens
- A reason not to use an immediate link
Step by step
- 01
Keep the state short
Use a clear message and avoid hiding important input behind a timer.
- 02
Configure the transition
Follow the legacy video as historical reference and confirm the current builder’s available screen actions before shipping.
- 03
Provide an escape
For anything longer than a brief confirmation, allow the user to continue manually.
The underlying logic
Timed navigation is presentation, not a substitute for confirming that asynchronous work succeeded.
What changed?
- A current builder reproduction and terminology pass is still required.
Common failure modes
The screen advances before data is ready
Move navigation after the relevant successful action rather than relying on elapsed time.
