# Datalab Entry Block

The Datalab Entry block allows you to acquire customer details with the help of your bot and store the information in a Datalab sheet.

Here is a step-by-step instruction to creating an effective sequence with the help of a Datalab Entry block.

## Create A Sequence with Datalab Entry Block

For example, we want to create a sequence to help customers place an order easily. Here, we need three pieces of information.

1. Full Name
2. Email Address
3. Address

### Step 1: Collect the Information

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="Input" %}
So, we put these three blocks in the following sequence.

1. Add a User Input block to collect names and save the variable to {{full\_name}}.

2\. Add an Email Block to collect emails and save the variable to {{email}}.

3\. Add another User Input Block to collect addresses and save the variable to {{address}}.

{% endtab %}

{% tab title="Output" %}

{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}

### Step 2: Store the Information

Now, if you place a Datalab Entry block after these three blocks, you can store the variable information in a sheet. Here's how you do it.

1\. Place a Datalab Entry block below the three initial blocks.

2\. Assuming that you already don't have a sheet, click on **Create New Sheet**. You will be redirected to the Datalab Tab.

3\. Click on **Create Datalab** to get started.

 4\. Click on **Create Datalab** after you type in a title and a description for your sheet. For now, ignore the toggle — **Form Type**. We will discuss more on this in our [**Datalab Guide**](https://docs.myalice.ai/myalice-guide-arabic/data-lab-and-analytics/advanced-datalab).

5\. Now, start adding keys for the three variables we are trying to collect. If you don't know how to create keys in a Datalab, please refer to our [**Datalab Guide**](https://docs.myalice.ai/myalice-guide-arabic/data-lab-and-analytics/advanced-datalab).  

6\. After creating the keys, you will now find the keys in the Datalab Entry Block in your Builder. Assign the key to your variables accordingly.

{% hint style="success" %}
Now every time customers go through this sequence, their information will be automatically stored in your Datalab.
