List Lookup

 1. Intro

The List Lookup node is used for asking your visitors questions where:

• you predefine a large list (eg: > 10) of permitted answers (similar to multiple-choice node)
• and these permitted answers are listed in a user-friendly way where the answers don't overwhelm the small area of the Instabot widget

The List Lookup node is useful for questions that have a large number (>10) of allowable answers - for example:

• What country do you live in?
• What are your favorite NBA team(s)?
• What state do you live in?

For example, below is a screenshot of a bot that gives asks visitors what US state they live in:

2. Configure the List Lookup node

This section will detail how to configure the List Lookup node

• a. Node message
  • This field is what the visitor will see when they see this list lookup node - try something like:
    
    • What country do you want to go on vacation in next year?

• b. List of options
  • This is where you define the options that the visitor will select from.
    • Each option is separated by a comma
    • There is a 3950 character limit for the number of options that can be added

• c. Limit user to selecting only 1 choice
  • This option specifies if the visitor is permitted to select only one option from the list, or is permitted to select multiple options:
    • limit to 1 choice = enabled (enabled) - this is useful for questions where only 1 answer makes sense - eg:
      • What country do you live in?
      • What US state do you live in?
    • limit to 1 choice = disabled - this is useful for questions where more than 1 answer makes sense - eg:
      • What is your favorite NBA team?
      • What color combinations do you want?
