How to set up default checked boxes for the interface design (e.g. using List Box, etc)

Hi,

 

I have two chained apps. First workflow has two outputs that I want to use as inputs for the second WF. Interface for the second WF should be something like a list of items/choices (List of All Accounts) with checkboxes so users can still manually change the final list, but should have like pre-checked items (Sample Accounts). What tools and configuration should I use especially on the interface part? 

 

I would appreciate your time and replies. Thank you!

Hi @mdoyu ,

 

I understand you can specify "all" or "nothing" for default with a single List Box Tool.

So you may want to separate the "default" and others like below.

Though it may not be exactly the same as what you expect, I hope it helps

To set up your chained apps with the desired interface, you can use an automation platform like Zapier or Integromat (Make) for workflow integration. These platforms allow you to pass outputs from the first workflow as inputs to the second. For the interface part, consider using a form builder like Google Forms or Typeform, which can dynamically populate a list of items (such as accounts). You can pre-check items like "Sample Accounts" in the form and allow users to modify the selection using checkboxes. If you prefer more customization, a custom front-end solution built with JavaScript (using frameworks like React or half birthday celebration) could enable dynamic loading of data and allow users to manually adjust their selections while keeping the pre-checked items. This combination provides both automation and flexibility in the user interface.
