These messages are called Interactive Messages and according to Meta's docs "users cannot select more than one option at the same time from a list or button message, but they can go back and re-open a previous message."
Please have a look at the Twilio Doc to see which message types are currently supported.

Open specific conversation on whatsapp from ionic 4

I have tried to call whatsapp from InAppBrowser plugin by passing url "https://api.whatsapp.com/send?phone=+91123456890&text=test".
I have also added config.xml changes as suggested
(access launch-external="yes" origin="whatsapp:*" /)
It opens the browser (when I run this on device) with send button on it to send the message to Whatsapp.
But I am unable to tap the Send button. It is not redirecting me to whatsapp application with given number.
Please can you show me some sample code or the way to achieve this.
Thanks,
i also face this problem. following code fixed my problem
window.open('whatsapp://send?phone=923130601266', '_system');
You should try to call below api in InAppBrowser.
The direct conversation will open with the number you set below the link.
Don't forget to add country code before number.

In-app messenger api with prepopulated text

Many apps used an in-app Facebook messenger api to share referral link directly to messenger. They also use prepopulated text with a link.
My question is fairly simple : How do they do it ?
I could not find any documentation about it, the closest thing I found is the send dialog api which doesn’t allow any prepopulated text.
Example (Lime app):
You need a Link not share, try this package or find something similar

How to send media files on whatsapp programmatically using click to chat feature?

I have to use whatsapp's click to chat feature for automating the process of sending messages to unsaved numbers. I am currently using selenium to automate the process. I am able to send text messages only for now. I was wondering that it might be possible to send other media files as well like images and videos.
There are 2 unused parameters in my url of click to chat feature, "source" and "data". I thought using these might enable me to send media files but I Haven't been able to do it yet.
Example URL for one of my click to chat messages:
https://web.whatsapp.com/send?phone=phoneNumHere&text=Hi&source=&data=
Can anyone confirm that either its possible or not. If its possible what would be the right way to do it?
Thanks

Send images, videos and docs using Selenium:
//To send attachments
//click to add
driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("span[data-icon='clip']")).click();
//add file path
driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("input[type='file']")).sendKeys("FilePath");
//click to send
driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("span[data-icon='send-light']")).click();
I know it's too late, I just have to add that Whatsapp Web and Whatsapp Desktop accept paste inputs, thus if you can get your picture to the memory (I did it with VB.net took 5 mins to accomplish after a bit of googling) you can just send a paste order and it'll load it in and require and ENTER send key from you.
Part1: Sending messages to unsaved contacts
Sending media to unsaved numbers is quite a difficult task but not impossible. You can surely find XPath by text.
Part2: Yes media can be sent to contacts. I have done that in my project link : https://github.com/shauryauppal/PyWhatsapp. By using PyAutoIt you can send Pictures, PDF, Videos to the selected contacts.
Since uploading part is not the automation of web browser we auto windows using AutoIt and select the path of image/video/file to send to the user.
autoit.control_focus("Open","Edit1")
autoit.control_set_text("Open","Edit1",(PATH_OF_IMAGE_TO_SEND) )
autoit.control_click("Open","Button1")
This is just the crux of the implementation. Do refer my repo in case of more understanding.
PS: Don't forget to star repo or give credits.
Check answer Link for more info, where to download AutoIt from.
Coding Working Fine.
//To send attachments
//click to add
driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("span[data-icon='clip']")).click();
//add file to send by file path
driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("input[type='file']")).sendKeys("FilePath");
//click to send
driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("span[data-icon='send-light']")).click();
I was having the same issue but right after fixing it, I made a python wrapper so that it helps more people having the same issue.
In case you're interested to explore more about the wrapper, here is a link
https://github.com/Kalebu/alright
Here is how to send a message to media files and message to unsaved contacts
>>> from alright import WhatsApp
>>> messenger = WhatsApp()
>>> messenger.find_user('255-74848xxxx')
>>> messenger.send_message("I wish you a Merry X-mass and Happy new year ")
>>> messenger.send_picture('path-to-image',"Text to accompany image")
Sending to Multiple unsaved contacts
>>> numbers = ['2557xxxxxx', '2557xxxxxx', '....']
>>> for number in numbers:
messenger.find_user(number)
messenger.send_message("I wish you a Merry X-mass and Happy new year "

Facebook messenger API bot : "Typing bubble" " indicator bubble"

I've created a messenger bot, and some action that I perform can take some time. So in order to make the user wait I would like to display the "Indicator Bubble" (the one you see when the people you talk with are typing):
Typing bubble
It is not defined in the Messenger API documentation how to do it, but it seems possible has they perform it when you hit "callBack" on their card.
How can I simulate this?
It's now available into the messenger bot API via the Sender Action. You can find the documentation here.
It's just a post with an on or off value to display / hide the bubble indicator.
{
"recipient":{
"id":"USER_ID"
},
"sender_action":"typing_on" // typing_off
}
The official messenger API does not support this feature for now. Even if #hiponcho – one of the featured by Facebook chatbot is actually using it.
A workaround would be to use the unofficial messenger API, which has a method called sendTypingIndicator that does exactly what you want. But be careful, you can be banned for using of non-official API.
api.sendTypingIndicator(threadID, [callback])
Yes, it is the only way.
When you have the Button Template and someone clicks on "button" for "postback" (documentation in section "button template").
Then during your parsing of the message and sending answer, it is shown like "writing".
I know it is a hack, but currently I send the "Typing Bubble Indicator" as a animated gif as my first reply, if I anticipate a waiting time (like an API call). At the user end, you can't tell the difference.

Implementing "Rate application" functionality on a Windows Store app

I am trying to implement rating functionality in a Windows Store application using HTML / Javascript.
I am showing a popup dialog similar to the one below within the application and when "Rate" is clicked I would like to redirect to the Marketplace where the user can then rate the application.
This is a task that can easily be done on Windows Phone 7 via the MarketplaceReviewTask.
Is there an API on Windows 8 that I could call to have this achieved?
The Rate and Review link in the Settings charm will automatically appear for users other than yourself (since you can't rate your own app).
If you want a custom link somewhere, you can use LaunchUriAsync like Jim says, using this URI:
"ms-windows-store:REVIEW?PFN=[my-pfm]"
where my-pfm is "Package Family Name" which you will find in your application manifest.
Here's a blog post I found that's helpful:
http://www.andybeaulieu.com/Default.aspx?tabid=67&EntryID=227
If you use protocol activation (LaunchUriAsync) with the URI format suggested here you'll get to your app's page on the Store; however, there's still an additional step for the user to click Write a Review. There may be a way to deep link to it and I'll update if I find out.
