0:00 If we look at our interaction,
0:02 it was very vague. We said,
0:05 Come over here and ask. You want a small,
0:08 medium or large size and we check if that's good We say,
0:11 Great, you've made the right choice and if the wrong you've made the wrong choice,
0:14 it would be much better if we could be specific.
0:19 And now that we know about Liquid,
0:21 we can. So if we come over here,
0:24 we can see where it says Great.
0:25 That's a good size. The send and wait for reply element that has got the
0:29 data and it is called welcome.
0:31 So what we can actually do instead of say that?
0:35 Well, say something. Concrete is a good size.
0:37 So we say double curly ( {{ ) notice our auto complete is coming up here.
0:42 I get it to show on the screen with somewhat small resolution.
0:46 And we could say widgets, welcome inbound.
0:52 And as you type, you can see it narrows down.
0:54 So inbound body like this is a good size,
0:59 and this is the same thing we're going to want over here as well.
1:02 So let's live settle. So this one has a good response,
1:06 and we could say sorry such and such isn't a valid response a valid choice.
1:15 So let's go ahead and republish those changes or publish the new changes and try again
1:21 All right, let's kick off another flow.
1:25 So is it cake time? Yes.
1:31 Greetings from Cloud City Cake Company.
1:32 What size of cake would you like cake time?
1:34 I want a huge cake. Sorry.
1:38 Huge, isn't a valid choice. All right,
1:40 fine. I'll tone it down.
1:41 We'll have a small, great small is a good size.
1:45 Now, of course, we need to ask them other information like,
1:49 Well, now, what flavor do you want to want?
1:51 Chocolate, Vanilla, carrot cake kind of frosting.
1:55 You want toppings on it? Like Sprinkles.
1:57 We're going to have a lot more of this interaction.
1:59 But you can see already that we've got this really cool workflow and validation,
2:03 and we're using the liquid template language to actually grab data from one part and use it concretely as we interact with the subsequent part of our workflows.
