Buttons vs. replies

Facebook Messenger can either display Meya buttons in their button or quick reply format.

Usage

You can specify which is your preferred format using either:

mode: quick_reply or mode: buttons on

meya.text_suggestions, meya.text_buttons, meya.image_suggestions or meya.image_buttons

See the card component specification for more information.

Defaults

meya.*_suggestions: by default render as quick_reply
meya.*_buttons: by default render as buttons
Custom components: by default render as buttons

🚧
Quick replies are incompatible with link buttons. Meya will automatically convert any link buttons to the buttons format overriding the quick_reply preference in that case.
