Hi guys,

A question about starting a flow with a number tag.

I have an AF that triggers Google services to speak. Each number tag is connected to a line of text. See the first picture.

 ![1](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/a/b/abfeb453245203ad0c887faf0f2e6eaa8fa8f7a8.jpeg)

In the second picture, a then card starts the above flow with a number. That number should trigger the correct text being said by Google services.

 ![3](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/6/4/646dd8d9db558a99de4f6db5c684d9e82140e0e9.jpeg)

Or should I set the variable to the concerning number first and then use the then card with Start a flow with number tag?  
Any help appreciated.  
Cheers,  
Wim

Hi there, Wim,

There’s a tag I don’t understand: [TTS Text]

This is an example of what works for me, I use the local tag [Start value] instead (for new flows, connect the two cards first, so the local tag to becomes available):

.  
I think your flows will work, when you just replace the [TTS Text] tags with the [Start value] tag in the Logic conditional cards of the ‘TTS texts’ flow.

Cheers!
