Will that be possible to create a custom even action with the user prompt information massage and do the action based on the user input? e.g.

@MiLeNL is correct, Events only support automations, user interactions are no longer supported.

However, Workflows do include support for User Tasks when reacting to a Projection (API) call. When these workflows are executed, each User Task is translated into a modal dialog in IFS Cloud providing a consistent user experience.

No, we haven’t been able to do this.  It is on our wishlist, but you can only present a message to the user AFTER they enter information to either confirm it is right or maybe to state it is wrong.  But you can’t just present a message to them - though that would be useful to indicate that some other action or process has completed.

It might be possible to do this with BPA/Workflows in Aurena, but I'm not totally sure.

In Cloud you can use BPA/Workflow with user interaction. However, this is only based on Entity CRUD operations, not events. The BPA/Workflow on Events only support validation/enrichment.
