# How do I use the List node?

The **List** node sends an interactive list message: sections, rows (title, description, payload). Configure message, footer, button label, and section/row structure. The user selects a row; the engine routes to the port that matches the row’s payload. Use it for longer menus, FAQs, or categorized options. Test Journey simulates list selection by payload.
