"Multi-select" multiple choice prompts
Learn how to present a list of options to the user. The user can select multiple options to send as the response.
Here's an example:
It asks the user a question, and presents a list of options they can respond with. The user can select one or more options. Once the user answers, the chat moves on to prompt #8 (not shown).
Unlike in "single-choice" Multiple choice prompts, you cannot branch to different prompts based on the answer selected. This is a limitation that we plan to do away with in future.
What To Do
In DialogForm, open up a flow you want to edit.
In the prompts panel, click on the "+ Add prompt" button.
This will add an empty prompt right below. Type in a message to the user.
Then, click on "+ Add answer" to type in an answer choice. Hovering over any answer will reveal a button to insert another answer before/after it. Add as many answers as you want. You can always move answers around using their drag handles (the icon with the six dots).
Note the backslash preceding the "*" symbols in the example at the top of the page. DialogForm supports Markdown syntax, which is a way of composing rich-text messages. Markdown treats "*" as a special character, which has to be "escaped" using a backslash to tell Markdown not to treat it specially in this case.
Set the next prompt using the "Always to" box below all the answers.
