All action nodes require setting up in a node form, where you specify the parameters for the selected action. In this article, we will guide you on how to set up every “Messaging” action node so your flow can execute the appropriate tasks to achieve your desired outcome.
 

Send message

The "Send message" action sends a message using a chosen WhatsApp Cloud API channel to the customer. Use this action to respond to inquiries, provide information, send updates, or initiate conversations.

Set up the "Send message" action node form by following the steps below:

1. Click on the "Send message" action node to open up its form, which will appear on the right side of the screen
   
   
    
2. The node form contains the following fields for you to configure your action:
   
           1. Channel - Select the messaging channel to send your message from
           2. Message type - Select between "Template" or "Manual" for your WhatsApp 
           message type
           3. Message body - Provide and configure the message content in the text field.
           Please refer to the Flow variable article to learn more about how to include a 
           dynamic variable in this field.
           4. Button - Select a button option to create an interactive message, e.g. adding 
           quick reply buttons or an options list to your message
           5. Button as branch - Enable this for the node to automatically create branches 
           in the flow based on which button option the contact selects in this message
           6. Save reply - Enable this to save the contact's reply to this message as a flow 
           variable to use later within the flow, or use the reply to update a property of the 
           enrolled contact. If you are saving as a flow variable, please ensure you enter a 
           name enclosed in double curly braces (e.g. "{{customerReply}}") that is distinct 
           from any existing contact property names. 
           7. Timeout if no reply after - Enable this to automatically end a flow enrollment 
           if there is no response within a specified time period
