# Wait For Select Menu Interaction

**Introduction**

The "Wait for Select Menu Interaction" step pauses the automation until a user interacts with a select menu in a specified message or until a timeout is reached. You need to send a message with select menu(s) before this step.

**Configuration**

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

**Subpaths**

The subpaths in this step correspond to the select menus in the specified message, and each subpath is named based on the label of the select menu. This allows the automation to respond uniquely to each menu interaction.

* **\[Select Menu Label]**:
  * **Interaction**: Represents the interaction event triggered by a user selecting an option from the menu.
  * **Value**: Captures the selected value if only one option is allowed.
  * **Values**: Captures a list of selected values if multiple options are allowed.
* **Timeout**: This subpath executes when the specified timeout duration is reached without any interaction. This path does not have any outputs.

Each select menu interaction triggers a specific subpath based on the menu's label, allowing for tailored responses depending on user input.
