Read Records from List

Instructions for using the "Read Records from List" block. Reading records with filtering and pagination in chat bot

This block allows the bot to send records from a list to the client.

Simplest example of sending list to client

Each record is sent as a separate message sequentially, in addition, a picture or file also comes as a separate message. The text message is configured as a template, in which list fields are written as variables, simply click on the button below with the name of the desired field and it will be inserted into the text.

Setting up template for sending records from list

When there are many records, you can enable pagination and set the number of records to send to the client. You can also set an arbitrary template for page selection, where {n} denotes the page number. For example, the client sends the bot the command "Page 2" and the bot responds by sending 10 more records from the second page of the list.
