AI Output Field
Purpose
The AI Output field type displays content generated by Form AI. You set a prompt and trigger (auto, button, or form-submit). Optionally, the AI response can be sent to another form field (e.g. hidden textarea for post content). Persona, temperature, and max words control the response.
When to use
- Drafting post content, summaries, or suggestions based on other form fields.
- When Form AI is enabled at the form level and you want a dedicated field for the AI response (or to pipe it into another field).
Key settings
- Field — Field Type: ai_output, Field Title.
- AI — AI Prompt, AI API Call Trigger (auto | button | form-submit), AI Output To Field, AI Output Field, AI Output To Field Type, AI Persona, AI Custom Persona, AI Temperature, AI Max Response Word, loading/typing options (preloader, response text, pause, typing speed).
- Design — AI preload animation colors.
Top features to configure
- AI prompt — Define exactly what the AI should produce from user input.
- API call trigger — Choose auto, button, or submit trigger based on the user flow.
- Output to field — Send generated text into another field when needed for submission/mapping.
- Persona + custom persona — Control tone and writing style.
- Temperature + max response word — Balance creativity against consistency and length.
Validation behavior
- AI output depends on valid Form AI configuration and API connectivity.
- Trigger mode controls when output is generated and whether users can review it before submit.
- Output-to-field mappings should use compatible target field types.
Common mistakes
- Enabling AI Output without completing form-level Form AI setup.
- Mapping output to a target field with incompatible formatting or limits.
- Setting very high response length for short-form UX, causing slow or noisy output.
Verify it works
- Trigger generation using the configured mode (auto, button, or form-submit).
- Confirm output appears in the AI field and any mapped destination field.
- Submit a test entry and verify saved AI output in Entries and notifications.
- Test a fallback scenario (invalid key or disabled AI) to verify user-facing behavior.
What's Next
- Continue with Form AI features for full setup and safeguards.
- Use Textarea or Hidden field as output targets where needed.
