This is an example that I like to refer to for handling errors with a startProcess in an API but the method would be very similar: https://community.appian.com/discussions/f/process/20396/status-code-of-a-webapi-to-start-process-model

Wait for a process response, as a variable.. and after that, with refresh variables, control the behavior of the interface, and depending on the value received from the process, show the message or not.

Sure, but with some clever design of process variables and value setting, you should be able to return such a message to the user when evaluating onSuccess.

havent tried this , but my understanding was the behavior of how onError works, from the Docs: "The onError parameter will only evaluate if the process fails to start. It will not evaluate if a node in the started process pauses by exception"

Using activity chaining, you can control at which step in the process the a!startProcess function returns. Did you try this?
