What does the text field do in trigger flow. Does it allow me to send data to the flow and if so how do I access that data from inside the flow?
That Text field is actually a huge update from the v3.78 beta.
Basically, it allows you to pass a value from the Touch action directly into the Flow using a new local variable called #trigger.
How to use it:
In your Touch settings, type your data (like a color or command) in that Text field.
Inside the Flow, add a Formula action and use $#trigger$ to catch that data.
Then you can use a Set Global action to save that value.You can check the details in the v3.78 changelog here: kwgt | Kustom HQ

Great thanks for the help!
The ‘Text Field’ in Flows is basically there to capture user input so you can pass it along to a formula or a web request. To get it working, you’ll want to make sure your Click Action is set to ‘Flow Control’ and then select the specific Flow you built. It’s super handy for things like custom search bars or quick-reply components!
