## How to work with connections

**Connections** represent transition trigger между блокам в чат-боте. Essentially, an connection acts as a distributor: if the client chooses "Answer 1," they move to Block #1; if they choose "Answer 2," they move to Block #2, and so on.

To **connect two blocks to each other**, hover your mouse pointer over a block. A white circle will appear at the bottom of the block — the connection node. Click it with the left mouse button and, while holding the button, drag it to the next block.

Также создать соединение можно из кнопки в блоке:

Чтобы перейти в настройки соединения, наведите мышью на соединение и нажмите на кнопку настройки:

Clicking on the gear icon will open the arrow settings form:

As you can see, the connection settings form structure includes sections for configuring the transition timer, conditional transition, and main settings for arrows with data collection.

**Please note!**\
Connections cannot exist on their own; they are elements that connect two blocks.
{% endhint %}

To delete an unnecessary node in an arrow, double-click the node with the left mouse button or click the cross (×) that appears when you hover over the connection.

#### Description

<div data-with-frame="true"><figure><img src="/files/PwopKjflJQbH3zkGBups" alt="" width="563"><figcaption></figcaption></figure></div>

In this field, you can enter a brief description of the connection’s purpose. This is useful for structuring the bot’s logic and helps avoid confusion when working on a complex project with many blocks.

By default, the description is set to "Connection." To change it, click on the description and enter your own. This field does not affect the bot’s operation.
