# User Input Card

Supported Platforms: Webchat, Facebook, Instagram, LINE, WhatsApp

User Input Card allows you to collect responses from customers by asking a question and directing them to the next step based on their input.

You can set a question and determine which block they will be directed to after submitting their answer.

This card consists of two sections, both of which are required for setup.

<div align="left"><figure><img src="https://2848678129-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F3u2I1osIy6mEi07X1z46%2Fuploads%2FUpdYRBfYLJ3yAbdO091e%2Fuser%20input%20Text.png?alt=media&amp;token=08d714d3-7ec5-4e90-bce5-d14cd9616026" alt="" width="275"><figcaption><p>Text Section</p></figcaption></figure></div>

Use this section to enter your question so customers know what you're asking.

This section supports emojis and variables. Please note that this feature is not supported in Webchat or multi-platform setups.

Each platform has character limits:

| Platform                           | Maximum Characters |
| ---------------------------------- | ------------------ |
| Webchat, Facebook, Instagram, LINE | 640 characters     |
| Webchat                            | 4096 characters    |
| Facebook, Instagram                | 640 characters     |
| LINE                               | 640 characters     |
| WhatsApp                           | 640 characters     |

#### 2. **"Reply after receiving user's message" Button**

Here you can set which block customers will be directed to after they submit their answer.

If the customer's response is a **text message**, it will trigger the next block and be saved as a custom attribute unless it doesn't match the preset data type for custom attributes.

**Non-text responses**, such as images, videos, stickers, emojis, and other media types, **won't trigger the next block** and **won't be saved as custom attributes**.

Before using this feature, make sure to add attribute data on the Custom Attributes [page](https://console.omnichat.ai/custom-attribute).
