Hello I am working on a very simple workflow, just testing how userFields work.

I made a new User Field, named it userInput.. I then set this userInput to the {Last Text Input}
 



But when I do a request 
It comes up EMPTY… 


I tested this: instead of putting userInput i just put in “Test”, this works.. but userInput does not save the last message and comes up Blank, why is this? 

Hello ​@RobOba ,
Did you run this flow with the test user?
Since you created a custom field to store the user's last text input, that value will only be saved to the field after running the flow at least once.

Just a reminder: depending on your goal, you can also insert the user's last text input directly into the external request, without necessarily saving it in a custom field. It would look like the screenshot below:
 

Bonus tip: on the right side, under “Preview,” you'll see an error. To avoid this issue, follow the example below: remove the quotation marks and check the “Encode to JSON” option.
