Responses

Move

Coordinates for a layer’s destination

Size

It is possible to modify the size of a layer with fixed values for the width and the height. (When containers are resized, the layers within the container remain unchanged.)

Factor

It is possible to modify the size of a layer proportionally by a certain %. (When containers are resized, the layers within the container are also resized.)

Rotate To

The angle a layer rotates to

Direction

The area towards which a layer moves

Rotate To

Channel [Component]

Inside the component, you can use the Send response to send a message and this can be received by a Receive trigger outside the component. This also works the other way around. Refer to Components for more information.

Channel [ProtoPie Connect/Studio]

Select ProtoPie Connect/Studio as a channel to allow interactions among devices (it works the same way for ProtoPie Connect).

Channel [Current Scene]

To modularize interactions or reuse a set of responses avoiding repetitive work, you can use Receive triggers and Send responses in one scene.

Message

A message is a string that is transmitted. The message in the Receive trigger on one device should match the message in the Send response, only then interactions among devices will take place.

Assign to Variable

It is possible to send a value together with a message. This value would have to be assigned to a variable upon receiving.

URL

You can enter website URLs and visit a website in the browser or the in-app browser on iOS.

• e.g. https://protopie.io

• e.g. https://www.google.com/search?q=protopie

URL schemes allow you to open system apps and third-party apps on iOS and Android devices. Third-party apps usually have their own defined URL schemes.

• e.g. mailto:hello@protopie.io

• e.g. tel:+1-212-555-1234

• e.g. whatsapp://send?text=[[hello]]

• e.g. fb://feed

• e.g. slack://open?team={TEAM_ID}

Formula

You can enter formulas and use the Link response more dynamically.

• e.g. "https://www.google.com/search?q=" + Input 1.text

• e.g. "https://www.amazon.com/s/field-keywords=" + keyword.text

Change To

The text content will be changed to that desired by the user

Size

The text is resized

Weight

The text can be made bolder or lighter

Alignment

The text’s horizontal or vertical alignment can be adjusted

Line Spacing

The text’s line spacing can be adjusted

Source

Choose an image, video, or Lottie from your device or import one from a self-hosted URL.

Start Delay

Enter the time delay to start the response.

Focus In

The cursor focuses in on the selected Input Layer.

Focus Out

The cursor focuses out of the selected Input Layer.

Action [Start]

Start the camera. You can choose between the front-facing camera and the rear-facing camera.

Action [Stop]

Stop the camera.

Camera [Current Camera]

Use the current camera.

Camera [Front Camera]

Use the current camera.

Camera [Rear Camera]

Use the rear-facing camera.

Camera [Switch]

Use the camera facing the opposite side of the last used camera.

QR & Barcode Scanner

Enable scanning QR and barcodes from within your prototype.

Open URL Immediately

Scan a QR code to open a link in a web browser. To scan barcodes, utilize the Keep Tracking option.

Keep Tracking

Monitor values stored in your QR or barcode.

Play

Play the audio, video, or Lottie file.

Pause

Pause the audio, video, or Lottie file.

Seek

Move to a specific point in the audio, video, or Lottie file. Enter a timestamp following the MM:SS.SS format.

It's possible to use formulas. This way, you can make a working scrubber. See example.

Volume To

Adjusting the volume of an audio or video layer

iOS

• Default: Basic vibration.

• Notification - Success: Indicates that a task or action, such as depositing a check or unlocking a vehicle, has completed.

• Notification - Warning: Indicates that a task or action, such as depositing a check or unlocking a vehicle, has produced a warning of some kind.

• Notification - Failure: Indicates that a task or action, such as depositing a check or unlocking a vehicle, has failed.

• Impact - Light/Medium/Heavy: Provides a physical metaphor that complements the visual experience. For example, the user might feel a thud when a view slides into place or two objects collide.

• Selection - Selection: Indicates that the selection is actively changing. For example, the user feels light taps while scrolling a picker wheel. This feedback is intended for communicating movement through a series of discrete values, not making or confirming a selection.

Android

• Default: Basic vibration.

• Keyboard Press: Haptic feedback when the user has pressed a virtual or software keyboard key.

• Keyboard Tap: Haptic feedback when the user has pressed a soft keyboard key.

• Long Press: Haptic feedback when the user has performed a long press on an object that is resulting in an action being performed.

• Virtual Key: Haptic feedback when the user has pressed on a virtual on-screen key.

Text

You can enter the text to be read out loud.

Formula

To make your voice interaction more dynamic, you can use formulas as long as the used formula results in a text. Also, you can use the predefined variable $voiceTranscript that stores the last voice command.

Language

You can choose from 40 languages and language variants.

Voiced by

You can choose between a female and male voice per language.

Speed

You can adjust the speed by choosing a value between 0.5 and 2.

Pitch

You can adjust the pitch by choosing a value between 0.5 and 2.

Continuous

When listening to voice commands is enabled, it would stop automatically as soon as no speech is being picked up anymore. In order to avoid this, you can check Continuous to make sure listening remains enabled even when no voice commands are picked up.

When Continuous has been checked, you would need a separate Listen response to stop listening. This means that when Continuous is unchecked, you do not need a separate Listen response to stop listening.

> Greater than

A Response is triggered when a property of the target layer exceeds that set for this property

≥ Greater than or equal to

A Response is triggered when a property of the target layer reaches or exceeds that set for this property

< Less than

A Response is triggered when a property of the target layer goes below that set for this property

≤ Less than or equal to

A Response is triggered when a property of the target layer reaches or goes below that set for this property

= Equal to

A Response is triggered when a property of the target layer is exactly the same as that set for this property.

≠ Not equal to

A Response is triggered when a property of the target layer is not exactly the same as that set for this property
