Can't choose "Name" in Entity Data Type
I want to create an entity that capture the name of a user, but there is no data type "name"
TIn Voiceflow, the "Name" data type is not directly available when creating a new entity. However, you can create a custom entity to capture the user's name. Here's how you can do it:
- Click on the 'New entity' button located in the upper right area of the screen within the Entities CMS interface.
- A dialog box will appear prompting you to define the new entity.
- Enter a name for the entity in the 'Name' field. You can name it "user_name" or something similar that represents the kind of information the entity will hold.
- Choose 'Custom' from the 'Data type' drop-down menu. This allows you to define a unique data type that isn't predefined in the system.
- Under 'Values', enter possible values that the entity can take. For a name entity, you might not know all the possible values, and that's okay. You can leave this blank or add common names as values.
- Once completed, click 'Create entity' to save the new entity to your CMS.
