# Implement a skip option

Use a rich control to provide the option for users to skip a question.
Use the rich control `\nType SKIP to skip question` to provide the option for a user to skip a question. There are two ways to configure a skip option:

* In the provider attributes script, use `_skip_internal` to trigger a contextual action service to skip the question.
* Map a contextual action for the provider and use `//request_context.contextual_action = "SKIP"` to skip the question. See [Contextual actions for custom chat integrations](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/3kNHnFf4A84_Xar_XI26FA#contextual-actions "Commands with a pre-defined behavior can be mapped to certain user-friendly keywords and passed as user input. This input is mapped to supported contextual actions for the most appropriate response in the chat.") to learn more about mapping user inputs to contextual actions.
