Steps

Adding a step

• The first step of a new flow: press "Choose first step type".
• The next step: press "+ Step" under the last one.
• A step in between: hover between two steps and press "Insert a step before this one".
• A step after a button: under a message, press "Add button". Every button has its own chain of steps, which the person enters by pressing it.
• Branches of steps such as "Condition" or "Ask a question" have buttons of their own: "+ Yes step", "+ No step", "+ Timeout step".

Each of these opens the list of step types. The search field at the top finds a type by name. The tabs above the list show the steps of one category, and this page groups them the same way below. On the "All" tab related steps fold into one row with a count: "Ask", "Payment", "Channel access". Press such a row to pick the step. In a search or on a single tab every step has a row of its own.

Special buttons

Some types change the button itself rather than coming after it. They show up only when you add a step under a button.

• "Open link", "Share" and "Copy text" are offered only for buttons under a message.
