Response Type

• Approval: Users can approve or disapprove from within the message.
• Free Text: Users can submit a response with a form.
• Custom Form: Users can submit a response with a custom form.

You can customize the waiting and response behavior depending on which response type you choose. You can configure these options in any of the above response types:

• Limit Wait Time: Whether the workflow will automatically resume execution after a specified time limit. This can be an interval or a specific wall time.
• Append n8n Attribution: Whether to mention in the message that it was sent automatically with n8n (turned on) or not (turned off).

When using the Approval response type, you can choose whether to present only an approval button or both approval and disapproval buttons.

You can also customize the button labels for the buttons you include.
