Next Step (register_next_step)

The register_next_step function registers a step that will be executed when the user sends their next message. This is the foundation for building multi-step dialogs.

How It Works

1. The bot sends the user a message (e.g., a question)
2. register_next_step specifies which step will handle the next response
3. The user replies — the registered step executes

Without this function, every message would be processed from the beginning of the workflow.

Parameters

In the editor, enter the step number where you want to direct the user's next message.

Example: Survey

Step 1: send_message → "What's your name?"
        register_next_step → step: 2

Step 2: add_var → name = {=message=}
        send_message → "How old are you?"
        register_next_step → step: 3

Step 3: add_var → age = {=message=}
        send_message → "Thanks, {=name=}! You're {=age=} years old."

Difference from continue_with

• register_next_step — waits for the user's next message and routes it to the specified step
• continue_with — immediately redirects execution to another function
