➜ Discover Botnation and launch your chatbot easily!

1. Use

There are two different ways to create Quick Replies.

The first is to add this feature directly by clicking on the “Quick Replies” icon found among the other features. (See below).

The second way is to create a text and then transform this text into Quick Replies.

In the end you will have the same result:

The Quick Replies feature always consists of text (limited to 640 characters) anda maximum of thirteen Quick Replies.

TIP
If you have more than 13 choices, we recommend that you use a Choice List.

The main difference with buttons, besides the number, is that once the user clicks on a Quick Replie, it becomes their message and all other choices disappear.

To set up a button, click on ” + Add Quick Replies “.

You can then name the Quick Replie (20 characters max).

You can also associate a picture with each replie.

This will appear at the beginning of the Quick Replie as an icon.

Then, you will have the possibility to choose the type of action that the chatbot will perform when the user clicks the Quick Replies.

A. Redirection

This will redirect your users to another sequence.

See the article : Add a redirection

B. User input

This action allows the chatbot to save a value for a given variable when the user clicks the Quick Replie.
This is very useful to keep track of your users’ choices.

  • Name of the variable
  • Value of the variable
