# Await response component
A component that halts the workflow and awaits user input.
---
An **Await response** component halts the workflow, initiating a conversation and collecting key information via predefined forms.
## Scenarios
An **Await response** component is essential where you need to display the agent's responses or require user-computer interaction.
## Configurations
### Guiding question
Whether to show the message defined in the **Message** field.
### Message
The static message to send out.
Click **+ Add message** to add message options. When multiple messages are supplied, the **Message** component randomly selects one to send.
### Input
You can define global variables within the **Await response** component, which can be either mandatory or optional. Once set, users will need to provide values for these variables when engaging with the agent. Click **+** to add a global variable, each with the following attributes:
- **Name**: _Required_
A descriptive name providing additional details about the variable.
- **Type**: _Required_
The type of the variable:
- **Single-line text**: Accepts a single line of text without line breaks.
- **Paragraph text**: Accepts multiple lines of text, including line breaks.
- **Dropdown options**: Requires the user to select a value for this variable from a dropdown menu. And you are required to set _at least_ one option for the dropdown menu.
- **file upload**: Requires the user to upload one or multiple files.
- **Number**: Accepts a number as input.
- **Boolean**: Requires the user to toggle between on and off.
- **Key**: _Required_
The unique variable name.
- **Optional**: A toggle indicating whether the variable is optional.

If you set the key type as **file**, ensure the token count of the uploaded file does not exceed your model provider's maximum token limit; otherwise, the plain text in your file will be truncated and incomplete.
