# Wait for message reaction

**Introduction**

The "Wait for Message Reaction" step pauses the automation until a reaction is added to a specified message or a timeout occurs. This step is useful for creating interactive workflows that rely on user input via reactions.

**Configuration**

* **Message**: Specifies the message to monitor for reactions. This parameter is required.
* **Timeout**: Defines how long to wait for a reaction before the automation continues or stops. Recommended to avoid delays longer than a few minutes to ensure reliability. Default: 30 seconds.

**Subpaths**

* **Reaction**: Represents the reaction added by a user, including:
  * **Emoji**: The emoji used in the reaction.
* **Timeout**: A subpath triggered when the timeout duration is reached without any reaction.
