Hi guys, does anyone please know how to empty the input message bar after sending the message? I tried to change input value on a sent icon but the message remains there. Thank you 🙂

Hi @Tommen,

You can use “Change Input Value” action, select the input, and leave the value empty.

Best,

Hi @Victor!  
Thank you for your response 🙂  
Can you please advise me I may be doing wrong? This is an action for the send button to change the input value of the bar next to it. However, the text still remains there. Thanks 🙂

Your action is correct. The app previewer has a habit of saving details, this is not the case in the app when you publish it. The solution that Victor has offered is correct and works.

Hi @Tommen,

Sometimes clearing browser cache and cookies help to fix such issues…
