Thank you very much for the video, Girish. Do you know how I can ask the user a question, store that response as a string and then check if that string contains an entity based on a custom entity list I made? I can't seem to figure out how to do it because when you use a custom entity list only the matching entity is stored as output, not the entire string the user typed. Any help is much appreciated. Keep up the great work.

Hello Ian, Thanks for the query. You can get the entire user response text by making use of system variable : LastMessage.Text Let me know how you go, if you still can't figure it out i will create a video. Let me know eitherways. Thanks.

@@PowerTechSpeck Thank you for replying. I know about LastMessage.text, but how do you set up the condition after getting the user's response to a question to check for an entity? I want to ask the user a question, store the user response, then take that and see if it contains an entity from a specific list, that's the part I don't understand. So, if I have an entity list called 'Size' it would work like this: 1 - Ask the user a question - what size are you? and store the response string. 2 - Then add a condition to check that string to see if it the stored response string from step 1 matches the Size entity and, if yes, do something. It's step 2 I can't seem to figure out how to do. Many thanks.

Hi Steve - Step 2 would happen automatically (as system will track entity automatically)

[@ACatCalledSnow]

@@PowerTechSpeck So, how would the flow look? Sorry, I am little confused. Do I not need step 2?
