Remarks

By default, this action is created with an empty Go To Operation attached. The operation can be removed if not required by your chatbot flow.

Alternate Text property is used to display the button text on a text-only channel like WhatsApp. On a channel where buttons are allowed, the button may be "Home", while on WhatsApp it may be "A) Home".

If instead of clicking the button the user types the Button Title (or Alternate Text) directly the button will be triggered automatically by MyLINKConnect. If you wan to extend the possible texts triggering the button, you can fill the available Trigge r Text Expression accordingly. Expressions can be created using the very same rule that is applied to all inputs.

Telegram does not allow buttons to be displayed without any preceding text. Please make sure to have at least one text bubble before any quick button or no button will be displayed.
