Action Block: Send Message
Send Message block is used for sending out informative messages that do not seek input from the visitors.
The rich text editor supports all the languages i.e. now you can type your input in any language you want like French, Spanish etc
Delay in sending messages on the basis of word count like if the content of the first message is large, the Bot usually delays sending the second message for 2-5 seconds allowing the visitor time to read through the first message
