Get value of radiobutton field

Function: Get value of radiobutton field​

This action allows you to retrieve the currently selected option from a Radio Button UI element on your application's screen. It then stores this selected value into a variable, making it available for use in subsequent actions or logic within your application. This is useful for capturing user choices made through radio buttons.

Input​

  • UI element
    • Type: PART (specifically a Radio Button Field)
    • Description: This is the specific Radio Button UI element on your page from which you want to get the selected value. You must select a UI element that is configured as a "radiobutton-field".
    • Required: Yes

Output​

  • Answer
    • Type: STRING
    • Description: This is the name of the variable where the selected value from the Radio Button UI element will be stored. If not specified, the default variable name will be RADIOBUTTON_FIELD_ANSWER.
    • Default Value: RADIOBUTTON_FIELD_ANSWER

Execution Flow​

Real-Life Examples​

Imagine you have a form where users need to agree to terms and conditions using a "Yes" or "No" radio button.

  • Inputs:
    • UI element: Terms and Conditions Consent Radio Button (This refers to the actual radio button field on your form.)
    • Answer: UserConsent
  • Result: If the user selects "Yes", the variable UserConsent will hold the value "Yes". If they select "No", it will hold "No". You can then use this UserConsent variable in a conditional action to proceed or halt the process.

Example 2: Determining a Preferred Communication Method​

In a user profile update form, you might ask users to choose their preferred communication method (Email, Phone, SMS) using radio buttons.

  • Inputs:
    • UI element: Preferred Communication Method Radio Button
    • Answer: PreferredMethod
  • Result: If the user selects "Email", the variable PreferredMethod will store "Email". This value can then be used to update their profile in your database or trigger a specific notification workflow.

Example 3: Selecting a Product Option​

Consider an e-commerce product page where a customer chooses a product size (Small, Medium, Large) using radio buttons.

  • Inputs:
    • UI element: Product Size Selection Radio Button
    • Answer: SelectedProductSize
  • Result: If the customer selects "Medium", the variable SelectedProductSize will contain "Medium". This information is crucial for adding the correct product variant to their shopping cart.
