Actions
Custom form
Collect structured information with a form inside the conversation.
Overview
A custom form asks for a defined set of customer details. Configure when it should appear, the prompt customers see, and the fields they need to complete.
Create a form
- Choose Custom form in the create-action catalog.
- Set the Action name, Description, and When to use instructions.
- Write the Customer prompt shown with the form.
- Configure field names, types, descriptions, and required values.
- Choose the supported channels and save the action.
- Review the preview, then enable and test it in a conversation.
Preview and submission
The editor preview lets you check the form experience. A preview submission does not save customer data. Verify the real submission from a customer conversation before relying on it for follow-up.
Best practices
- Ask only for details needed for the stated purpose.
- Use clear labels and mark required fields deliberately.
- Test incomplete and invalid values as well as a valid submission.
- Check that the completed information reaches the intended workflow.
