# Send Message

{% hint style="info" %}
Each sent message uses an [interaction](https://documentation.proto.cx/docs/getting-started/interactions), a consumable resource in Proto.
{% endhint %}

The Send Message action sends a preset stock messages to the chat.

***

Select a **Send Message** action from the tree to open its settings:

* **Messages** — one or more messages that will be sent to the chat. If multiple messages are defined, one will be used at random each time the action is triggered.
* **Quick reply options** (optional) — up to 13 clickable options that appear below the sent message. These are not support by the [Bitrix24](https://documentation.proto.cx/docs/modules/ai-agents/publishing/bitrix24) or [Africa's Talking](https://documentation.proto.cx/docs/modules/ai-agents/publishing/africas-talking) channels.

Press **Save** to confirm edits.
