Ask: Form
To ask the user to fill out a web form
When you need to elicit more than one piece of information from a user, you can use an Ask: Form node. It is designed for web front ends. One form can have multiple input fields.
The fields to elicit can be configured as part of the node. In this example, we set three fields of type Custom. They are required, so they cannot be skipped (see asterisks). The other fields are optional.
The following parameters can be configured for a form field:
Title
The label for the field
Type
The type of the field determines how the field is validated and stored
Required
Toggle if the field is required and cannot be skipped
Remember in user.<var>
Toggle if you want to remember the field in the user object
Only use when the value identifies this user.
Assign to
Fill in with a name of a variable to store the value in
Use primarily when the expected value doesn't identify this user. Like when you are asking for someone else's phone number.
Field types
First name
The first name of the user
user.first_name
Last name
The last name of the user
user.last_name
The email address (needs to be a valid email format)
user.email
Phone
The phone number (needs to be a valid phone number)
user.phone
Custom
See custom fields
Custom fields
Custom fields can be used for any type of information. It needs more properties to be configured, since its behaviour isn't fixed by its type.
Remember
To also store the variable in the user object
Assign to
The name of the variable to store it in
Text area
Toggle to render a multiline text area instead of a single line
Default value
Text already present in the answer box by default
