Data requests: Request model
Define the information relayed from data requests in your intent flows using NLX's Dialog Studio
What's the Request model tab?
Request model allows you to specify and shape data to be sent back to your API/webhook (e.g., create a new user profile).
Request model setup is only applicable when your data request is set up with an External implementation.
Access
To access this feature, click the Request model tab of your data request:
Request model Type
Choose the request type for the model from the available dropdown:
String: A simple text value, such as a customer's name
Number: An integer, such as a customer's age
Boolean: A value consisting of true or false
Object: A well-defined structure of multiple values, such as name, age, occupation. Use if wanting to reference the values in the payload of the Data request node
List: A list of values that can have other response types nested within
Request properties
When selecting Object or List request schemas, a sub-items section will display to specify the multiple values:
Expand Items/Properties section > Click +Add property

Repeat steps to add properties, as needed
