I've changed from method='GET' to method ='POST', name=message ' (the table
name) etc. But I seem to have an issue with the highlighted part. It's
still not posting. Could you please give an example of how this can work?
<form action="" enctype="multipart/form-data" method="POST" class="hidden">
<select data-conv-question="Hello! I'm
a bot created from a HTML form. Can I show you some features? (this
question comes from a select)">
<option value="yes">Yes</option>
<option value="sure">Sure!</option>
</select>
<input type="text" name="message"
data-conv-question="Alright! First, type one word e.g. 'exercise', or ask a
question.|Okay! you can type one word e.g. 'Soy', or ask a question.">
<input type="text"
data-conv-question="{{=reports}}" data-no-answer="true">
<input
