How it works
To obtain a good idea of how each block will be sent out as a text message, below are examples of how each block is sent from the textbot.
The SMS format will vary depending on the kind of block that is being sent.
Conversational Engagement
Multiple Choice, Data Fields and Content blocks will let the user interact and respond to the text which will count as a block submission. The media will also be sent as an MMS.
Redirect Engagement Free Response, Payment / Donation, and Yes / No blocks will be texted with the block prompt with a link to the block in order to submit.

In real life examples
- long text block prompt on a multiple choice
- 10 multiple choices
- turn on can accept multiple data for multiple choice
- content only (2 content only blocks will be texted at the same time - the prompts will be sent at the same time)
- what it looks like in a image without an image
- required data fields
- color background - background will not be texted out
- what happens when there is a hyperlink in the block prompt
