Using skill inputs

As a user, you are required to fill in certain inputs based on the skill that you start. In this section, you can find specifications for using specific input types.

Filling tables in skill inputs automatically

When you start a skill, if the skill input is a table, you can automatically fill that table by uploading a .xls or .csv file.

See the following procedure to use .xls or .csv file to fill tables in the skill inputs automatically:

  1. Create a .xls or .csv table with the same headers of the skill input table.
  2. Fill the table with the data that you want to set in the table of the skill input.
    • If you are using a .csv file, configure the table data as a string.
    • If you are using a .xls file, configure the table data as TEXT or GENERAL. Don't use complex .xls features like formulas and conditional formatting.
  3. Save the .xls or .csv file.
  4. In the skill input table, click the Upload file icon.
  5. Click Drag and drop files here or click to upload.
  6. Select the .xls or .csv file that you created.

The table in the skill input is automatically filled with the data from the .xls or .csv file.

Technical specifications for using the skills

When you start a skill, inputs might be required. Some of these inputs contain specific technical parameters.

As a user, you don't need to worry about complex technical details such as IDs and keys. You must notice these values in a drop-down menu to choose from. The input values that you select might also come from the previous task you completed.

Some skills don't require parameters, but you can apply filters to get specific responses as shown in the following image.
