// user can also close the dialog by clicking the close button in its title bar.
var ui = DocumentApp.getUi();
var response = ui.prompt('Getting to know you', 'May I know your name?', ui.ButtonSet.YES_NO);

// Process the user's response.
if (response.getSelectedButton() == ui.Button.YES) {
  Logger.log('The user\'s name is %s.', response.getResponseText());
} else if (response.getSelectedButton() == ui.Button.NO) {

The text is available even if the user closed the dialog by clicking a button with a negative connotation, like "Cancel" or the close button in the dialog's title bar. getSelectedButton() can help to determine whether the user intended the response text to be valid.

Return

String — The text that the user entered in the dialog's input field.

`getSelectedButton()`

Gets the button that the user clicked to dismiss the dialog. If the user clicked the close button that is included in every dialog's title bar, this method returns Button.CLOSE.
