Wait for Input Node Parameters

The Wait for Input node (WaitForInput, wait-for-input) sends a message with text and waits for user input (no buttons). Typically used for collecting data: name, email, phone, number, date. In Node Inspector (right panel) the following sections are available:

Basic Settings

  • Message text (messageText) — text the client sees before the input field.
  • Output Variable (outputVariable) — where to store the client's response.

Attachments

  • Attachment type — image, video, file.
  • Source — File (upload from computer) or Link (enter URL).
  • Value — path to uploaded file or media URL.

Attachments are displayed together with the message text.

Messengers (supportedMessengers)

  • Supported channels — limit which messengers show this message (Telegram, Viber, WhatsApp, Widget, Facebook, etc.).
  • If the list is empty — the message is shown on all channels.

Validation

Client input validation:

  • Type (type) — none (no validation), email, phone, integer, image, regexp, custom.
  • Error message (error_message) — text the client sees for invalid input.
  • Min/max characters (min_symbols, max_symbols) — text length limits.
  • Min/max value (min_value, max_value) — for integer type.
  • Regexp pattern (regexp_pattern) — custom regular expression.
  • Custom type name (custom_type_name) — name of custom validation type.

If type: none — the bot accepts any response without validation.

Advanced Settings

  • Show typing indicator (sendTyping) — show "typing…" before the message.
  • Send delay (slowMode) — delay before sending. When enabled, Delay seconds (slowModeSeconds, 1–60) is available.
  • Save to Custom Data — store response in Custom Data module (selectedModel, selectedColumn).
  • Statistics — select funnel and position for node execution tracking.

Wait for Input — Specific Parameters

  • Timeout (timeout) — how many seconds to wait for client response (30–3600). When time expires — default branch or special edge is executed.
  • Allow skip (allowSkip) — show "Skip" button so the client can skip responding.
  • Skip button text (skipText) — button text (e.g., "Skip", "Later").

Tip: timeout — seconds to wait for response; allowSkip — Skip button; skipText — text of that button.
