+### {% linkable_title Services %}
+
+This components provide three services to modify the state of the `input_text`.
+
+| Service | Data | Description |
+| ------- | ---- | ----------- |
+| `set_value` | `value`<br>`entity_id(s)` | Set the value for specific `input_text` entities.
+
 ### {% linkable_title Restore State %}
 
 This component will automatically restore the state it had prior to Home Assistant stopping as long as your entity does **not** have a set value for `initial`. To disable this feature, set a valid value for `initial`.
+
+## {% linkable_title Automation Examples %}
+
+Here's an example using `input_text` in an action in an automation.

+{% raw %}
+```yaml
