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)

- Change the linked flow
- Remove buttons entirely

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