Most other UX out there allow you to just submit something you’ve uploaded with no additional input, so I find this one a bit confusing for users.  
\*\*  
Scenario\*\*  
Let’s say the chat asks user to upload a document.  
They upload and go to hit the send button.  
And the send button doesn’t work.

Here’s the trick to make it work: the current setup requires them to also **type something** in the text box to submit.

Once the user figures this out it’s not an issue, but I find on first use people are clicking the submit button and having a moment of confusion/friction.

@stephenbdiaz this is an awesome idea - I’ve put our engineers on it and we should have an update soon!
