# Select a message from a list — Messages

Botize method — `plugin_talk.post_message` (action).

Pick a message from a predefined list, either in random or sequential order.

This is an action: it runs as a step of a task. Several can be chained.

## Fields you set

The field's internal name, its type and the values it accepts. These fields accept `{{...}}` tags from earlier steps.

- `message` *(string)* — New message (0 characters)
- `param1` *(string)* — Message list
- `order` *(string, one of: ""; "list")* — Select in
- `mb_outputvars_switch` *(boolean)* — Customize tags

## Output variables

Data this step makes available. Reference them in later steps with the double-brace tag.

- `{{text}}` *(text)* — Message from the list
