A lot of our success messages tend to focus on a thing or task completing.

Use the Name of What Was Created

Where possible, try to be explicit about the name of the thing that was created.

For example:

Created Search index {INDEX_NAME}.

Do Not Use "Successfully"

Avoid successfully or other adverbs ending in -ly to describe how something was done in the UI.

Reword the success message to be more active and focus on the thing that was done.

For example:

Created backup.
Created new user {USER_NAME}.
