Enable Multi Select

Click this toggle to the ON position to allow users to select more than one option from the list of multiple choice answers.

Enter Placeholder

Enter the text that displays inside the input bar at the bottom of a Chatbot.

Select Input

1. Enter your responses to the multiple choice question.
2. Type an answer and then hit the Return bar on the keyboard to input one option.

User can skip

Click this toggle to the ON position to allow users to avoid selecting an answer. In most cases, it makes sense to leave the toggle in the OFF position because you want the user to select an option.

3 Previewing the Chatbot

After placing the Autofill tool inside one Message block, you can preview the results.

4 Customizing the legal consent

Click this toggle if you want to add a statement to the Chatbot that verifies a website visitor agrees to your privacy policy.
