What are the GC Blocks?
Blocks are the basic units of a bot builder. For example, a text message you want to show, a set of options you want the customer to choose from, the step where you collect the email address or phone number, etc., are added to the flow using appropriate blocks.
Uses of GC Blocks
• If you want to display a welcome message to the user at the beginning of the conversation, you must use a message block.
• Likewise, if you want the user to share an image or photo as part of the conversation, you must use an image block.
There are a variety of blocks in the builder that one can choose depending on the output they want to show the end user.
