Request Input

The Request Input scenario block is used to request information from a chat customer. It can be used, for example, to ask for customer information at the beginning of the chat session (e.g., first and last name, email address, etc.), or to offer the customer a satisfaction survey at the end of the session.

Conditional Exits

The Request Input block may take the Timeout conditional exit if no customer input is received within the specified timeout.


Settings

Title text

Title text is the name of the instance of the block. Enter a name in the text field and click the Update button at the bottom of the Edit pane. The new name of the block appears in the flowchart.

Prompt with

This setting represents the type of prompt to be used to request input.

  • To request input via a message directly in the chat window, select text message and specify the text in the Message to send field.
  • To request input via a predefined form, select form and use the Form name field to specify the name of the form that is to be displayed by the client chat application. These forms are defined in Chat Widget Configuration Application > In-Scenario and Manually-Sent forms.

Note: Starting with Bright Pattern Contact Center version 3.12, option HTML is no longer available for new chat scenarios. All forms should now be created in the client application and called from the chat scenario via the form option. Forms created in previous software versions using this option will continue to be supported.

Timeout after

The Timeout after setting specifies for how long the block will wait for customer’s input before taking the Timeout conditional exit.

Results

If the requested input data comes from a form, its field values can be used as $(item.externalChatData.abc) where abc is a field name.

If the requested input comes as a chat message, $(item.message) can be used to access the text.
