Input control block types
Address Lookup Input
Address Lookup input for Form Reform.
Detailed data from the address lookup will also be returned in a hidden field as JSON. This data will be available to the processing pipeline as {{place.holders}} using dot.notation to index into the data. When not provided, fallback actions may attempt to partially fill the data by parsing the entered text.
A map of address lookup data to other form input fields can be configured to automatically populate further fields in the form. Any specific address will resolve to a subset of these fields. Accuracy and provision depends on data from Google.
- Street Number [street_number]
- Route / Road [route]
- Address 1 [address1]
- Address 2 [address2]
- Town / City [town]
- State code [sc]
- State [state]
- Postal code / Zip [postal_code]
- Postal code prefix [postal_code_prefix]
- Postal code suffix [postal_code_suffix]
- Country code [cc]
- Country [country]

Options Attribute Select Input

Calendar Picker Input
Calendar picker input for Form Reform. Provides picking one or more events, days or other calendar items from a calendar by superimposing checkboxes to the calendar cells.
Because form data is returned as an array of event occurrences, the data straight from the form can be awkward to insert into messages using {{data_values}}. Consider using IterateData ... ExtendWithTextItem ... IterateDataEnd handlers, even if only one event is picked. The ExtendWithTextItem handler can then be used to incrementally extend a text string by building the formatted content of each event.
Use Form Reform Developer to dump data from the pipeline and understand the form and iteration data.
