Overview

The Prompt node displays a message to the user and collects their input. It supports various input types including text, email, phone, number, and options.

How It Works

Render Phase: When the flow reaches this node, it displays the configured message to the user and waits for their response
Input Phase: The user provides their input according to the configured input type
Validation: The input is validated against any configured validation rules
Storage: The validated input is stored in a variable that can be accessed in subsequent nodes
Continue: The flow proceeds to the next connected node

Input Types

Text: Free-form text input
Email: Email address with validation
Phone: Phone number with validation
Number: Numeric input
Options: Multiple choice with predefined options

Dynamic Content

The prompt message supports Handlebars syntax, allowing you to include dynamic values from previous nodes:

Hello {{start}}! Please enter your email address.

Error Handling

If an error occurs while rendering the prompt (e.g., invalid template), the conversation terminates with an error message to prevent exposing internal errors to users.
