InputPhoneNumber

The InputPhoneNumber action allows your bot to ask the user to enter a phone number and save it into a variable (only Russian phone numbers are supported).

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Description	Required
prompt	String	The message prompting the user to enter a phone number. If you intend to use HTML markup in the message, leave this parameter empty (prompt =) and fill out the html parameter instead.	Yes
varName	String	Variable name. The phone number entered by the user will be stored in $session.<varName>. Use the following characters: Aa–Zz, _, 0–9. The first character should be a letter. JavaScript reserved words are not allowed.	Yes
html	String	The message prompting the user to enter a phone number, with HTML markup. If you don’t intend to use HTML markup, omit this parameter and use prompt only.	No
htmlEnabled	Boolean	If set to true, the bot message will use the html parameter value, and the error message will use failureMessageHtml. If omitted or set to false, the prompt and failureMessage values will be used instead.	No
failureMessage	Array of strings	The list of error messages. The bot will randomly select and send one of these messages if the user enters an invalid phone number.	No

then	String	The state the dialog will switch to if the tag script completes without errors.	No
