Once you`ve completed the `Start Bot Flow` setup, you`ll see a socket called `Compose Next Message`, These sockets allows you to add various reply components. After adding components, we must configure them accordingly.
For the `Compose Next Message` socket, you can add text, images, audio, video, or file components and configure them as follows:
Use of Text Component:
Enter your reply message in the `Please provide your reply message` field. Utilize the `Delay in reply` option if you need to introduce a delay in your response to the customer`s message.

However, in certain situations, rather than displaying a list menu with various components, a single component will appear already connected to the parent component.
For instance, if you drag from the button output socket of the text component and drop it onto the editor, the button component will immediately appear in the editor, already linked to the parent component.

The Button component is not present in the Top-menu.
