Overview
This node operation sends a button template message via WhatsApp using the WARest WhatsApp REST API. It allows users to specify a session, recipient, message body, optional footer, optional header image, and up to three interactive buttons of various types (reply, URL, call, copy). This is useful for creating interactive WhatsApp messages that prompt recipients to take specific actions, such as replying with a predefined text, opening a URL, making a call, or copying text.
Use Case Examples
- Sending a customer support message with quick reply buttons for common issues.
- Sending a promotional message with buttons linking to product pages or contact numbers.
