# Wait For Button Interaction

**Introduction**

The "Wait for Button Interaction" step pauses the automation until a user interacts with a button on a specified message or until a set timeout is reached. You need to send a message with button(s) before this step.

**Configuration**

* **Message**: The message that contains the buttons to wait for interaction. This parameter is required.
* **Timeout**: The duration to wait for a button interaction before continuing or stopping the automation. This parameter is required.

**Subpaths**

Each button label in the message creates a unique subpath:

* **\[Button Label]**:
  * **ID**: The ID of the button.
  * **Interaction**: Captures the interaction event when the button is clicked.
* **Timeout**: Represents the point at which the timeout occurs if no button is clicked.
