Options

This feature enables the conversation to follow different paths depending on the input provided by the user, allowing for branching in the conversation flow.

Within a single block, you can add up to 10 options. Should you require more, you can employ the strategy of nesting 'Option' blocks together.

Users can make selections from the options by typing either the numeric digit (e.g., 1, 2, 3), the alphabetic name (e.g., one, two, three), or the value of the option itself (e.g., apple, grapes, banana.).

This block is commonly used on SMS and WhatsApp channels.

Variable:
