There is no separate place to define an answer before you use it. You add a block, the block owns an answer, and the answer appears in every picker on the account from that moment. Deleting the block removes it again.
The thirteen blocks
| Block | What the visitor does | Plan |
|---|---|---|
| Name Capture | Types a name. | Starter |
| Email Capture | Gives an email address. Can collect a name at the same time. | Starter |
| Phone Capture | Gives a phone number, with country flags. | Starter |
| Welcome Back | Nothing: it reads the visit count and greets first-timers and regulars differently. | Starter |
| Quick Choice | Picks one option, or several if you allow it. | Growth |
| Rating | Taps stars, thumbs, or a nought-to-ten score, with an optional comment. | Growth |
| Custom Input | Types or picks any value: room, table, membership number. | Growth |
| Check-In | Taps to record that they were here, or is checked in on load. | Growth |
| Geo Check-In | Same, but only succeeds inside a radius you set. | Growth |
| Quiz | Answers scored questions, with a reveal for good scores. | Growth |
| Passport | Collects stops across several Markers towards a reward. | Growth |
| Conditional | Nothing: it reads an answer and decides what everyone else shows. | Growth |
| Explore More | Nothing: it lists your other Experiences and badges the ones already visited. | Free |

Naming an answer
Six blocks own a named answer you can reuse: Name Capture, Email Capture, Phone Capture, Quick Choice, Custom Input and Geo Check-In. Each has an Answer name field with a sensible default: name, email, phone, choice, value.
Change it to something you will recognise in six months. room beats value. dietary beats choice. The name is what you will pick from a list when you write a greeting or a show-and-hide rule, and a page with three answers all called value is a page you will get wrong.
value. Rename it room and everything downstream reads better.
Choosing how far it travels
Capture blocks carry a Where this is remembered control with three options. The reach you pick decides which other blocks, on which other pages, can read the answer back.
- This Experience
- The default for most answers. Only this page can use it. Right for anything that means nothing elsewhere: a table number, a seat, a stop on this trail.
- This Project
- Every Experience in the same Project can use it. The option disables itself with the note needs a Project until the Experience is assigned to one.
- Everywhere
- Every Experience in your account can use it. The default for a name, an email address and a phone number.
Adding one, start to finish
- 1
Open the Experience and press Add Block
The Memory blocks are spread across Remember & return and Questions & answers, marked with a sparkle.
- 2
Write the question
Short and specific. Any allergies we should know about? beats Preferences.
- 3
Set the Answer name
Lowercase, no spaces, something you will recognise later.
- 4
Set Where this is remembered
Ask yourself where else you want to read this answer. If the honest answer is nowhere, leave it on This Experience.
- 5
Open When someone answers
The panel below the block's own settings. Decide about repeats and notifications before you publish.
- 6
Preview on a phone
The builder preview always behaves as a first-time visitor, so you see the question rather than your own earlier answer.
The When someone answers panel
One panel, rendered under every block that captures an answer, so a setting means the same thing everywhere.
| Setting | What it does | Available on |
|---|---|---|
| Ask visitors to verify their phone first | One text, one code, once, then they are recognised across your space even after a cleared browser. Enforced on Growth and above. | Most answer blocks. Not the contact-capture blocks, and never Safety Card. |
| Let visitors answer again | The block offers a quiet Answer again link. Their newest answer is the one shown, and you keep every answer they gave. | Custom Input, Rating, Quick Choice, Check-In, Quiz. |
| Show them their history | Visitors can open a list of their own past answers, newest first, with relative times. | The same five, once repeats are on. |
| Start blank each visit | The block shows empty on every visit instead of last time's answer. Covered in detail here. | The same five, once repeats are on. |
| Notify me | Sends a push to the NearField app. On Rating you can narrow it to low scores only. | Fourteen block types, including all three capture blocks. |
Example
Marigold & Vine: remembering an allergy
The table Marker carries a Custom Input block labelled Anything we should keep out of your food?, set to a dropdown with Nuts, Shellfish, Gluten, Dairy and None. Answer name is dietary. Where this is remembered is set to Everywhere, because the answer is just as true at the bar counter and on the takeaway page.
Let visitors answer again is on, so a guest whose party changes can update it. Start blank each visit stays off: the whole point is that the restaurant already knows on the second visit.
A second block, a Custom Input named table, sits above it. That one stays on This Experience, because table four at Marigold & Vine means nothing anywhere else.
Can two blocks write the same answer?
Yes, and sometimes you want that: a name asked at the gate and a name asked at the café can both fill name. The newest answer is the one read back.
What happens to the answers if I delete the block?
The named entry disappears from the pickers. The answers visitors already gave stay on their records in Audience.
Why is This Project greyed out?
Because this Experience is not in a Project yet. Assign it to one and the option becomes selectable. Until then a Project-scoped answer would quietly behave as an Experience-local one.
Do I have to ask before I can personalise anything?
Not always. Welcome Back and Conditional Content can read the visit count and which Experiences someone has seen without asking a single question.
