Create reply options in Meta-channel templates to guide the next conversation step.

How to use it

When creating an Assist template, select a Meta channel, fill in message, language and variables, then add buttons. Use distinct, clear labels such as confirm, reschedule or speak to the team. Save and check template approval before use.

Limits and prerequisites

The implementation accepts up to ten buttons with labels of up to 25 characters and validates duplicates. Buttons are locked when editing existing templates. The feature depends on a Meta channel and provider approval and sending rules.

Validate in your operation

Send an approved template to an authorized test contact. Check button rendering, reply delivery and continued service in the correct queue.

Feature identified in the platform code in October 2026. Availability depends on the deployed version, permissions and environment connectors. Contact Zild if it is not visible yet.
