# Input

The `input` block allows you to input item quantities and to set custom filters for your inputs.

The `input` block is currently useable in select blocks such as the `query` block.

## Add

* Add an Input block using the Cwicly [Quick inserter](https://docs.cwicly.com/cwicly/quick-inserter) (recommended).
