The "Wait" block allows you to pause the conversation for a certain amount of seconds.
|
|
|
|
This can be useful if you want the bot to emphasize on what's been said or to wait before a redirection for example to make sure the user has read everything.
|
|
|
|
<Wait>
|
|
This should be used wisely. If you want the bot to write slower or faster in a
|
|
more general sense, you need to check the [Typing emulation
|
|
settings](/settings/overview#typing-emulation)
|
|
</Wait>

## Pause the flow
|
|
|
|
You can enable the "Pause the flow" option if you ever need to mark a pause in the flow.
|
|
|
|
Under the hood, typebot always compute all the blocks between each input blocks. But sometimes you may want to display some messages before a long-running action.
