Send actions

The Send action is used to deliver messages to users inside a flow. It's the most basic and frequently used action, as it defines what the user sees and how the conversation progresses.

From the Send section, you can choose between two action types:

  • Send message

  • Send choice

Send message

The Send message action allows you to send a message to the user without requiring an explicit selection to continue.

What you can do with a Send message

  • Write plain text messages to guide or inform the user

  • Personalize content using images, articles and emoji

  • Chain multiple Send message actions to structure longer replies

  • Connect the message to any other action to continue the flow

  • Duplicate or delete the action

This action is ideal for:

  • Welcome messages

  • Explanations or instructions

  • Confirmations and follow-ups

  • Transitions between different parts of a flow

Once the message is sent, the flow automatically continues to the next connected action.

Send choice

The Send choice action allows you to show a message followed by selectable options. Each option represents a controlled user action and can be used both to branch the flow and to store user data.

Message

At the top of the action, you define the message shown to the user.
This message provides context for the available choices (for example, asking the user to select a country, language, or topic).

You can:

  • Use plain text and emojis

  • Add links

  • Personalize the message with variables

Choices

Under the message, you define the available choices:

  • Each choice is displayed as a clickable button

  • You can add or remove choices at any time

  • Each choice can be connected to a different next action in the flow

In the example shown, the user can choose between:

  • IT

  • RO

  • UK

Once the user clicks a choice, the conversation continues automatically.

Target property

The Target property determines where the selected value is saved.

When a user selects a choice:

  • The value of the selected option is stored in the chosen contact property

  • The value can be reused later in the flow (for conditions, personalization, or routing)

In this example:

  • The selected option is saved in the Country code contact property

This makes Send choice ideal for:

  • Capturing structured data (language, country, plan, intent)

  • Driving conditional logic later in the flow

  • Personalizing future messages based on user input
