Get Prefill Storage Node
The Get Prefill Storage node retrieves custom property values that were previously saved to a database using the Set Prefill Storage node. It fetches the saved data by storage ID and restores it as properties in the flow's value bag.
Node is used exclusively for TellUs.
Use Case
Use the Get Prefill Storage node when:
- You need to retrieve previously saved custom property values during a flow.
- Data is passed from another UI system (such as MyBusiness or MyPages) to TellUs and needs to be prefilled so customers don't need to reenter information they've already selected or provided elsewhere.
Don't use the Get Prefill Storage node when:
- You do not need to restore any previously saved custom property values.
UI Examples
- TellUs
- WebChat
Only output, no UI
Not applicable
Behavior
- Blocking: the node waits for data retrieval from storage to complete before proceeding
- Produces output: populates the value bag with retrieved property values and returns a status result (Ok, Expired, Not found, or SearchDataNotProvided)
- Supports validation: requires a storage ID to be configured or provided from the flow
- Moves to the next node after data retrieval is complete, regardless of the result status
