Go-to connections

On Chatlayer, a Go-to connection means that one block will happen in the conversation just after the other. Go-to connections can be established in multiple ways.

Your conversation logic is made so that you can go from any block type to any other block type in your flows.

On your bot canvas, Go-to connections are represented as plain arrows.

Go to connections shouldn't be confused with Parent-child connections.

Go to another block

At the end of any block, you can choose to redirect the user to any other block.

To do that, find the Go to ribbon at the bottom of your block and expand it to fill it in.

Go to any other block by filling the Go to section at the bottom of the block.

Go-to's in buttons

When you create a Bot Message, you can redirect the user to another block by clicking something.

A clicking action can happen with:

• buttons

• carousels

• lists

• quick replies
