The Text input block allows you to ask your user for a text answer.

## Short text input

By default the text input is expecting a short answer:

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="Flow">
    <Frame>
      <img
        src="/images/blocks/inputs/short-text-flow.png"
        alt="Text input"
        className="rounded-lg"
      />
    </Frame>
  </Tab>
  <Tab title="Bot">
    <Frame>
      <img
        src="/images/blocks/inputs/short-text-bot.png"
        alt="Text input"
        className="rounded-lg"
      />
    </Frame>
  </Tab>
</Tabs>

## Long text input

You can also ask your user for a longer text answer by enabling it in the input options:

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="Flow">
    <Frame>
      <img
        src="/images/blocks/inputs/long-text-flow.png"
        alt="Long text input flow"
        className="rounded-lg"
      />
    </Frame>
  </Tab>
  <Tab title="Bot">
    <img
      src="/images/blocks/inputs/long-text-bot.png"
      alt="Long text input bot"
      className="rounded-lg"
    />
  </Tab>
</Tabs>
