## Properties

### allowFreeFormInput?

> `optional` **allowFreeFormInput**: `boolean`

Sets whether the user can freely enter text into the input.

This value changes the behaviour of the notification:

* If `true`, when an action is pressed this allows the user to type free form text into the input area.
* If `false`, you must provide an array of `choices` the user is allowed to use as the input.

Defaults to `true`.

### allowGeneratedReplies?

> `optional` **allowGeneratedReplies**: `boolean`

Sets whether generated replies can be added to the action.

Generated replies will only be shown if the input has `choices` and whether the device
is able to generate replies.

Defaults to `true`.

> `optional` **choices**: `string`\[]

### editableChoices?

> `optional` **editableChoices**: `boolean`

If `true`, the user will be able to edit the selected choice before sending the action event, however
`allowFreeFormInput` must also be `true`.

By default, the platform will decide whether choices can be editable. To explicitly enable or disable
this, provide `true` or `false`.
