Step 2: #
The Upload Question node that we have just created is now in the Chat Builder and it has automatically generated 2 answer nodes: Upload failed, Upload successful.
The 2 answer nodes begin 2 new branches in the flow.
- Upload failed branch – When the upload fails, the flow directs to this branch.
- Upload successful branch – When the upload is successful, the flow directs to this branch.

Step 3: #
Extend the branches by adding more nodes – Text nodes, Image Link nodes, Video Embed nodes, Branching/Question nodes and Command nodes.
(Q1) The Upload Question node and the 2 new branches in the Chat Builder.
(Q2) Click the “Preview” button to open the chat HTML client which shows you how your chat is presented to the viewers.
