Send message

1. Description

The component for simultaneously sending a file (a link or a file from the Media Files section), text, and display customized buttons.

The block (Fig. 1.(1)) is used in space to build the Flow. The settings panel for this component opens (Fig. 1.(2)) when you click on the block.

The block consists of the following elements:

1. The name of the component;

2. In branch — receiving (connecting with the previous block) branch;

3. Out branch — outgoing (connecting with the following block) branch. When hovering over the Out field, a switch appears. The switch allows this component to be connected to a component that already has a connection.

Changing the switch position removes the outgoing branch of this component.

The button deletes the block from the Flow Schema.
