Ask: Name
To ask the user for a person's name
Names are a complex piece of information to extract from user input. A user can say "My name is Pete", or "I am called Pete" or "Pete is my name". The DialoX platform uses Artificial Intelligence to extract the name from a sentence when we expect a name.
The name of a user is important for finding conversations in the platform or being able to re-engage the user at a later time. Therefore, the Ask: Name node will store the name in the user object by default, to make sure it is available in the conversations, inbox and contact sections of the platform.

The node can be configured the same way as the other ask variants using the following properties.
