Use Cases

The Quick Replies Action is capable of sending messages and then receiving one of a known, finite number of responses. This makes it ideal for:

• Asking users how they want to proceed
• Confirming orders or appointments

Properties

Ask Question

Expects type Text.

This is the message that the Quick Replies Action will send to to the user before waiting for a reply.

Save Response

Expects an established variable of the appropriate scope.

This is the variable that the users response will be bound to for future reference.

Expects type List of Text.

This defines the options that will be provided for the user to select as a response. Each item in the List will be rendered as a separate button for selection, with the text of each button corresponding to the Text given.
