The buttons can either be connected to an [Execute flow](https://docs.yellow.ai/docs/platform_concepts/studio/build/nodes/action-nodes#15-execute-flow) node (which will trigger another flow if clicked) or connected to[ Message nodes](https://docs.yellow.ai/docs/platform_concepts/studio/build/nodes/message-nodes) to display a message.
