Hey,
Does anyone know how to display an array (text type) as buttons in Telegram?

For example, this is the response I receive:

I managed to save all the curtains in the contact's database, and so far, everything is working great.
Now, I want to give the user a button in Telegram for "Green Curtain" and another button for "blue curtain" (this should dynamically change based on the received response).

Does anyone know a way to do this?

 

{ "status": "success", "response": { "curtains": "Green curtains", "blue curtains" ] } }

​@AmitShemla you have 2 options:

  1. you map these options to user fields and use that in the button labels (this is the easiest way)
  2. You use Manychat’s API, with the sendContent endpoint: https://api.manychat.com/swagger#/

Hi ​@Gustavo Boregio and thank you so much for your help!

Can you tell me how to do number 1?

In the response mapping i have added this:
$.response.cutains

  • and i can see under the contact “curtains” field (type=array) the list of curtains which is great

    now i am trying to show them as buttons but now sure how since when i am adding “new message” with telegram and add a button, i can dynamicly put the array field but it’s not creating few nuttons and not shwing anything since it’s expecting 1 text (as i understand)

     

    THANKS

     

    • ​@AmitShemla you'll need to map them to 2 different user fields, with the following JSONPaths:

     

    As far as I know you will not be able to map them to an array or use the array in your automations.

    Good 😊
