  • Label - Optional label for the date picker.
  • Description - Optional description for the date picker.

Options​

  • None

Output​

  • Result - Selected date from the date picker.

How It Works​

The Datepicker node creates an interactive widget that allows users to select a date. When executed, the node:

  1. Validates the provided Session ID
  2. Checks that the session is not in conversational mode
  3. Creates a date picker widget with the specified label and description
  4. Sends the widget to the client with the specified session ID
  5. Waits for the user's date selection
  6. Parses the response as JSON or string
  7. Returns the parsed date as the result

Requirements​

  • A valid session ID for an active client connection
  • Properly configured client interface that can handle date picker widgets
  • Session must not be in conversational mode

Error Handling​

The node will return specific errors in the following cases:

  • Empty or invalid Session ID
  • Session not found for the provided ID
  • Cannot use datepicker in conversational mode
  • Failed to send widget to client
  • Timeout while waiting for user selection
  • Failed to parse user response

Usage Notes​

  • The Session ID must match an active client connection
  • The Label and Description fields are optional but can help users understand what date they're selecting
  • The returned date will be in the format provided by the client (JSON or string)
  • Date pickers cannot be used in conversational mode
