# Set inactivity timeout

You can use the Set Inactivity Timeout Card to **override the default inactivity timeout** configured in your [Bot Settings](https://botpress.com/docs/studio/concepts/bot-settings.md#inactivity-timeout).

> [!TIP]
>
> This Card won't work in the Studio's Emulator. Instead, you can test it using the [shareable Webchat link](https://botpress.com/docs/get-started/quick-start.md#preview-and-share-your-bot).

## Configuration

> [!NOTE]
>
> This Card is only available for [Standard Nodes](https://botpress.com/docs/studio/concepts/nodes/introduction.md).

To use the Card, just [add it to any Node in your Workflow](https://botpress.com/docs/studio/concepts/cards/introduction.md#add-a-card). The new inactivity timeout will apply starting from when the Card executes.

It has the following settings:

* **Conversation ID**: The ID of the conversation to update. Defaults to [`event.conversationId`](https://botpress.com/docs/studio/guides/advanced/event-properties#param-conversation-id) (current conversation)
* **Timeout**: The duration of the timeout in minutes. Set to `0` for the conversation to never expire, or to `-1` to reset to the default timeout
