HOW IT WORKS:
A Simple Example to configure the 'Pop Search and Select V2' activity in PopFlow Studio.
- Select the 'Pop Search and select' activity from 'Activity Sidebar'.
- Click on 'Pop Search and select' activity to open and configure the 'Set Interaction Data' activity.
- Once the Activity is opened now fill the Defaults required fields i.e. 'Title', 'Data Source' and 'Save Results In'.
- To select the 'Data Source' value we need to have either 'HTTPS' or 'GET DATA' activity values.
- In this example, we will be using 'HTTPS' activity to fetch the data from the API and show the result in 'Pop Search and Select'. To configure the 'HTTPS' activity please refer to the 'HTTPS' activity documents.
- After configuration of 'HTTPS' activity adds a 'Pop Search and Select' activity on the 'SUCCESS' button of 'HTTPS' activity as shown below.

- Select the search button "Filter in data Data Source" if you want the search to be faster. This will search in selected 'Data Source'.
- Select the search button "Filter in new Data Source".This will make a search in the 'Database' if some new value is updated then it will also return that value. To achieve this search you need to add the same activity with the same configuration on the Search Button whose 'Data Source' you are using for the search.

- Now add the 'HTTPS' activity on the 'CUSTOMER SEARCH' button to achieve the server-side searching. The 'HTTPS' activity should have the same configuration whose result is selected as a 'Data Source' for the 'CUSTOMER SEARCH' Search inside the 'Pop Search and Select'.
