Actions

On Blur

Triggers when the user leaves the input field. That is, when changing the focus from the field to some other part of the application.

Value Changed

Triggers with each typed letter. That is, Value changes every time a key is pressed, unlike a Checkbox, where its Value changes when the box is selected.

On Enter

Example

Data entered into time inputs are tied by default to an Airkit automatically generated Time Variable for the inputted data to be stored, which can be seen within Inspector > Data Binding.

In this example, a time_input variable has been created which can be used to pass data across web pages, events, data flows and more.
