# Date
## **Ask Date Card**
Request a date from your customer using the Ask Date card.
## Question Text
This is the question you want to ask users. Keep it clear and concise so they understand what you're asking.
You can format the text using **Bold**, *Italic*, or ~~Strikethrough~~. Use asterisks (\*) for Bold, underscores (\_) for Italic, and tildes (\~) for Strikethrough.
For example: Please provide the date you will be available for an hour meeting.
{% hint style="info" %}
PRO TIP: Use Variables in the **Question Text** and in the **Validation Error Message** to make it more personalized.
{% endhint %}
## Advanced Settings
For the validation settings, you can set the attempt limit to 1. The Validation Error Message is optional. Specify the Action on Invalid Response, and enable the Additional Validation Settings.
## Validation settings
In the additional validation settings, specify the **Minimum character, Maximum character, and Regex.** Since we're asking for a meeting date, the minimum character and maximum character will be a date.
## Save Response in the Variable
You have the option to store the user response in a variable. For example, you can create a variable called `user_availability` to store the user's response.
Once you have set all the fields required and click on **SAVE.**
