How It Works​

The Dropdown node creates an interactive dropdown list in chat interfaces. When executed, the node:

  1. Creates a dropdown list with the specified options
  2. Displays the dropdown list in the chat interface
  3. Waits for user interaction with the dropdown
  4. Returns a payload with information about the user's selection

Requirements​

  • A valid chat interface or messaging platform
  • Properly configured dropdown options or custom options

Error Handling​

The node will return specific errors in the following cases:

  • Empty or invalid ID
  • Invalid option format
  • Issues with custom option objects
  • Communication errors with the messaging platform

Usage Notes​

  • Dropdown lists allow users to select one option from a list
  • The payload output contains information about which option was selected
  • Dropdown lists are useful for collecting user preferences or choices
  • Both Options and Custom Options can be used together to define the dropdown items
  • Custom Options allow for more complex option configurations
