Discover the basics of the “Ask Text” option in the Ask Text Card to make user interactions more engaging.

Question Text

Craft your question clearly and concisely so users understand exactly what you’re asking.

You can format the question text by making it Bold, Italic, or Strikethrough using the available options. Bold text will have asterisks (*), Italic will have underscores (_), and Strikethrough will be surrounded by tildes (~).

For information on storing user responses, check out Creating Variables, and learn about validation settings here.

PRO TIP: Personalize your Question Text and Validation Error Message by using Variables.

Implementation Example:

Imagine you’re asking customers for their PAN Card to assess their financial profile. With the Ask Text question type and validation settings, you can ensure that users provide relevant responses within a set character limit.

For the Question Text, you can write: Please provide your PAN Card details to assess your profile.

You can store the user’s response in a variable, such as creating a variable called “user_details” to capture their input.
