Here is my current best version. This one is setting a checkbox to be checked.

var text URL = URLRoot() & "db/" & "?act=API_EditRecord&_fid_80=1&rid=" &

"ja ascript:" &
"$.get('" &  
$url &  
"',function(){" &
"$.jGrowl('This Item has been put on PO CANCEL snooze', {life: 5000, theme:
'jGrowl-green'});" &
"});" &
" oid(0);"

The 5000 means 5 seconds until it fades away. I like this version as it the same green color as the native QuickBase pop ups.

Note that when you do these kind of pop ups, the pop-up will show a success message even if the URL formula completely fails. So it's up to you to be sure that there is no possible way that the URL formula will fail.

var text URL=URLRoot() & "db/" & "?act=API_EditRecord&_fid_24=1&rid=" & [Entry Number]

"javascript:" & 
"$.get('" &  
$url &  
"',function(){" & 
"$.jGrowl('This Item has been put on PO CANCEL snooze', {life: 5000, theme: \n'jGrowl-green'});" & 
"});" &
