Thank you for your reply Anton - I think you were able to connect all the dots for me.
A few things of note - I was trying to use 'Call Task' instead of 'Jump to reusable task'. looks like Jump works better.
Also, I kept expecting to go back to my starting task (why i kept using Call task) - it's not going to do that - at least i couldn't make it work. but you can jump from task to task to task until you're able to 'End Bot'
Thanks for the help Anton!

Intents are different in Digital bots, but still has them.
Intents are accessible at a digital menu, or the wait input action.
All Intents go to a Task in Digital bots. - It doesn't have the branching paths like in Bot flows, that is reserved for digital menus. Why not keep them consistent... well good question...
So yes use the Ask for Input action, which will then go to a the task for the intent that it picked up.

I'm sorry, i dont understand what you mean when you say '...or just offer suggestions for Intents you have built. Run the intent into a task and the route back to a different task for the menu when done. Don't keep going back to the menu at the top. '
I am just trying to ask for an intent like i would in a bot flow. i cant use a standard bot flow because it doesnt have No input time outs for Digital interaction.
Is a digital bot not capable to ask for an intent like a standard bot can?

I just tried my SMS through the same Web Messaging Digital Bot Flow that has a digital menu. Yes, it will not display, but you could offer a branch at that point to look for SMS and offer a text-based menu or just offer suggestions for Intents you have built. Run the intent into a task and the route back to a different task for the menu when done. Don't keep going back to the menu at the top.
