The URL User Input element is used to collect URL inputs from users. It validates whether the provided URL is properly formatted but does not verify its validity or accessibility.
Release0.com - Agent Website element

Key Features

  • URL Format Validation: Ensures the user-provided input follows a correct URL format (e.g., https://example.com).
  • Retry Message: If the URL is improperly formatted, a retry message prompts the user to re-enter the correct URL.

Limitations

  • No Validity Check: The element does not verify if the URL points to an active or accessible website.
  • Advanced Validation: To check if the URL is valid or reachable, you need to use an HTTP Request element to call a URL validation API.

Example Usage

Basic Configuration

Sample user prompt:
“Please enter the URL of your website.”
Behavior:
  • The element checks if the input is a validly formatted URL.
  • If the format is incorrect (e.g., missing https://), the user is prompted with a retry message.
Advanced Validation with HTTP Request element
  1. Add an HTTP Request element after the URL Input element.
  2. Configure the HTTP request to send the provided URL to a URL validation API.
  3. Process the API response to determine the next steps.
Example HTTP Request Configuration:
  • API Endpoint: https://api.urlvalidation.com/validate?url={{website_variable}}
  • Method: GET
  • Variable: Replace {{website_variable}} with the variable storing the user’s URL.
