Ask: Time

To ask the user for a specific time

The Ask: Time node helps to elicit time inputs, since times are a special entity that needs careful validation and can be bound to various constraints, like from and until, am/pm or 24-hour clock, etc. For this reason, time is a special node variant you can add to your Flow when acquiring a time.
