To ask a question, change the text inside the Label text box. To give an example of an answer, write in the 'Placeholder text' box. The placeholder text is optional and can be left empty.
To make sure you get an answer to your question you can toggle on the 'Required' button. This will ensure that the client adds an answer before the flow continues. For a more specific type of answer, you can use the 'Choose validation' dropdown and choose a validation method suited for your question.

The multiple options can be presented in different formats.

- 'Select multiple' offers the opportunity of choosing one or more options. The flow will not continue until the continue button is pressed.

With the advanced settings offer more functionalities to add to your select one -questions.
The first section is livechat-based and allows a livechat notification to be sent when clicked on.
To enable a livechat-trigger select the team you want to direct the livechat to.
To enable/disable notifications from the interaction, either choose 'no action' or 'notify team'.
To further determine when this button will be shown, choose the appropriate option from the dropdown-menu.
'No action' will use the same settings found on the configure page.
'Hide if offline' will hide the livechat-trigger button if no livechat-agent is online.
'Hide if online' will hide the livechat-trigger button if a livechat-agent is online.
If you want to add a price for one of your options, add the value here and use it to calculate a total amount at the end of the flow.
To send a copy of the lead to an email, add it here. Want to send a copy to multiple emails? Just separate the emails with a comma and you are good to go.
A hidden property comes in handy when doing integrations. With a token it is easier for the receiving system to identify the correct option to be brought in. This can also be used in the flow by referencing to the token.
For example, you have a list of courses, and each course has a number. If you don’t want to show it to the client but you’ll need it for the integration, you can use this field.
To redirect the user when clicking on an option, add a url where you want to redirect them to. To open a new tab leave the 'Redirect in same tab' off, if you want to redirect them in the same tab, toggle it on.
Use the Search question type to crawl through the website and search for particular keywords. This can be used to search for products, services or questions.
Learn more through our video, in the 'Create a Searchbot', or via this link (opens in a new tab).
