Text Input

Collect text responses from your users with short or long text fields

1 min read

The Text input block allows you to ask your user for a text answer.

Short text input#

By default the text input is expecting a short answer:

Flow View:

Bot View:

Long text input#

You can also ask your user for a longer text answer by enabling it in the input options:

Flow View:

Bot View:

Long text input bot

Allow attachments#

This option, when enabled, allows users to attach files to their message. This is useful when you want to ask for a document or a picture attached to the user messages.

The generated URL will be stored in the defined variable.

Allow audio clips#

This option, if enabled, displays a microphone button when the text input is empty. This allows users to record a voice message and send it to the bot.

Note If supported, the recorded file will be a WebM file. If not, it will be an MP4 file (i.e. Safari).
