Ice Breakers Menu

Ice Breakers are buttons shown before a conversation starts, usually when a user opens the DM for the first time.

Ice Breakers are designed to:

  • Reduce friction
  • Encourage the first interaction
  • Guide users into relevant flows

Typical use cases:

  • “Product Category”
  • “Contact Support”
  • “Browse Services”
  • “Start Over”

Ice Breaker Behavior

  • Displayed only at conversation start
  • Each button launches a specific flow
  • Disappear after the user engages

  

The Ice Breaker does not send messages by itself.
Each button starts a predefined flow.

 Creating & Managing Ice Breaker Buttons

 

You can define up to four Ice Breaker buttons.

For each button, you must define:

  • Button label (short and clear)
  • Target Flow (the flow that will run when tapped)

Updating or Removing Buttons

You can:

  • Edit button labels
  • Change the linked flow
  • Remove buttons entirely

⚠️ Removing a button does not affect existing flows — it only removes the entry point.
