Ask: Choice
To ask the user to make a choice out of a list of options
Using the Ask: Choice node variant, the user can be asked to choose a single option from a list. The system will keep trying to elicit a response until a satisfactory answer is provided, alternating the question based on the contents of the property Repeat text. Once an option is selected, the Flow will continue by following the correctly labeled link.
This renders the following dialog:
The example above shows both the original question and the repeat questions. Normally it will first ask the original question, and only when no input is received (on voice channels) or wrong input is given, will the repeat text be shown. On voice this means you have an opportunity to explain about the DTMF choices: press 1 for … and press 2 for …, because the provided options are always available as DTMF choices (in order of their links from left to right).
