Variable input

[Morenicano]

Hi. I'm using buttons to make contact attempts and also provide links in my response. Currently, my buttons type out the entire message and then I wait and add the person's name and the link I'm sharing with them to personalize the message, but is there a way that I can either activate the button and it asks me for that info before it types it out and then fills the missing info in while it's typing the rest of the message or any other way I can achieve this goal without having to wait for it to finish typing the whole message first?

You can use {Var =?} to ask for user input.

For example: {Var1 =?}You entered {Var1}{Enter}

To add a prompt to the input dialog you can use {Var =?Enter name}.

You can also add a default response with {Var =?Enter name|Paul}.

Thank you! This is perfect! Question, can you declare the variables before it starts typing? Like, can I have it ask all the questions first and then after the questions are asked, then it fills in the answers as it types? Right now, I tried it like this, but both variables are returning as the URL that was typed in the second prompt. Here is how I have it setup.

{VarName =?Enter the user's name for the greeting}{VarTicketURL =?Enter the URL for the ticket being referenced}Hi {VarName}.{Shift {Enter}{Enter}}To see your ticket, click here: {VarTicketURL}

You have to store each response in a separate variable. There are 100 variables, {Var} and {Var1} ... {Var99}

In this example Var1 is used for the name and Var2 for the URL.

{Var1 =?Enter the user's name for the greeting}{Var2 =?Enter the URL for the ticket being referenced}Hi {Var1}.{Shift {Enter}{Enter}}To see your ticket, click here: {Var2}

In the Network and Enterprise version you can name a variable. In this example Var1 is named _Name and Var2 is named _Link.

{Var1 Name _Name}{Var2 Name _Link}{Var_Name =?Enter the user's name for the greeting}{Var_Link =?Enter the URL for the ticket being referenced}Hi {Var_Name}.{Shift {Enter}{Enter}}To see your ticket, click here: {Var_Link}
