Overview

By default, prompts are automatically titled as Prompt #1, Prompt #2, etc., in the order they are created. Renaming prompts with descriptive titles makes it significantly easier to identify and reference them—especially when chaining prompts together. You can use these custom titles with the @ symbol to pull in previous prompt results.

How to Rename a Prompt

1. Navigate to the App Editor and open the Prompts section.

2. Locate the prompt you'd like to rename (e.g., “Prompt #1”).

3. Click directly on the prompt title.

4. Type a new, descriptive name—such as Generate Headline or Summarize Input.

5. Click Save to save the new title.

✅ Tip: Use titles that reflect the prompt's function to make chaining and debugging easier.

Why This Matters

When you reference another prompt in your prompt body, you can use the @ symbol followed by the prompt’s title. Promptform will show a dropdown list of available prompts as you type, allowing you to select the one you need.

This approach is especially helpful when you're chaining multiple prompts together in a single app. Clear titles help you:

• Avoid confusion when selecting prompts

• Maintain clean and understandable logic

• Reduce errors from referencing the wrong prompt

Example

1. Rename a prompt to Generate Headline

2. In a different prompt, type @Generate and select Generate Headline from the dropdown

3. This automatically links the output of Generate Headline into the new prompt

FAQ

Q: Can I use spaces or special characters in prompt titles?
A: Yes, titles can include spaces. However, keep them concise for easier referencing.

Q: What happens if I rename a prompt that’s already being referenced?
A: All existing @ references will automatically update to match the new title. You don’t need to manually re-link anything—Promptform keeps everything in sync.
