Use the Autocomplete block to select from large lists
Add searchable dropdown input with auto-suggestion capability to help users choose from large datasets like countries, languages, or product lists.
The Autocomplete User Input Block allows users to select an item from a large predefined list by typing to filter suggestions. This is useful for selecting countries, cities, languages, brands, or any extensive dataset that would be cumbersome in a traditional dropdown.
Required field: Make the input mandatory for submission.
Restrict to list only: When enabled, users can only select from the provided suggestions. Custom entries will not be allowed.
Enable fuzzy search: When enabled, the search will match results even if the user’s input contains typos or partial matches. This is useful for large datasets where exact matches are not always possible.
Placeholder: Customizable prompt to guide users (e.g., “Start typing to search…”).
Button label: Customizable text for the search action button.
Available Presets: A provided list of common datasets (e.g., countries, languages, communication channels) for quick setup.
Items:
Define the list of items to be displayed in the dropdown.
Each item can have a value (e.g, FR) and name (e.g, France).
Max suggestions: Limit the number of suggestions shown in the dropdown to improve performance and usability.
Minimum characters to search: Set the minimum number of characters a user must type before suggestions appear. Helps to avoid irrelevant results for short inputs.
Save selected value to variable: Store the selected item in a variable for later use in your flow. (e.g, France)
Save selected key to variable: Optionally save the key of the selected item in a separate variable.(e.g, FR)
