Overview

This node operation sends a message with interactive buttons in a chat session. It is useful for engaging users by providing predefined response options such as replies, calls, copying codes, or opening URLs. For example, a customer support bot can use this to ask users how they are doing and offer quick response buttons.

Use Case Examples

  1. Sending a greeting message with buttons for quick replies.
  2. Providing buttons to call support, copy a code, or visit a URL from within a chat.
