# Basic Flow

Within each flow, you can view and edit the entire conversational interaction. Flow is like a map of different types of messages and some other blocks. There are two types of flow: **Basic Flow** and **Customized Flow**.

**Basic Flow** includes:

* First Direct Message
* Ice Breaker
* Story Mention
* Non-business Hours

Remember to turn off the automated responses set-up on Meta to prevent crashing the chatalog flow setups.
