## User

Their user profile is created when they send their first message through any connected messaging channels.

## Bot

An automated conversational tool that you build on the platform to respond to your users.&#x20;

A bot is also the account that you use to manage your configurations, team, billing, and subscription on BotDistrikt.

## Message

Data sent from a User to your Bot. It is available in the form of text, an image, a video, an audio clip, an event (like a button click), a sticker, and a location.

## Response

Data sent from your Bot to a User. This information can be also presented in the form of text, an image, a video, an audio clip, a sticker, a location, and rich-media elements like buttons and cards.
