When adding this building block to your flow all variables will become available in the Ultradox Template Editor as well.

This building block allows you to configure default values for the defined form fields. You can thereby run and test your flow right from the Ultradox editor without filling out the the Google Form. This will make testing a lot faster and easier.

Make sure to save your data so that the entered values appear as Ultradox variables in the output parameter section of the building block.

Please note that even when removing this building block from your flow, Ultradox will still get triggered from the Google Form if the trigger is active. It will still work, but you will not see the variables in the Ultradox Template Editor anymore.
