Read list entry

Finds one entry and shows it to the person using the template: a product card, an order by its number, this contact's entry.

Settings panel of the "Read list entry" blockSettings panel of the "Read list entry" block

Settings

Choosing the list, "Search field", "Search type", "Additional filters", "Sort" and "Messages chain template" — as in the common settings.

  • "Search field" — besides the list fields you can choose "ID": then the block looks for the entry by its ID. If the person sent an entry ID, the block finds it by ID whatever field is chosen.
  • "Sort" — if several entries match, the block takes the first one in the given order.
  • "Message before sending the item" and "Message after sending the item" — text before and after the entry.
  • "Shopping cart (legacy)" — the bot's old cart; for sales, use the shop blocks.
  • "Menu" — the block's buttons: for example, "Back to catalogue".

Outputs

  • Buttons from "Menu" — the person pressed a button.
  • "Any other phrase" — the person wrote something else.
  • "Continue" — right after the entry is sent.

If the entry is not found, the bot sends "Record not found".

Good to know

The bot remembers the entry it found. A "Contact Notification" block placed next can take the recipient from it — the "List entry field from the previous block" setting.
