Use this action to display multiple dynamic buttons based on a Xenioo Database collection query.
The action uses the following settings:
Setting | Description | |
Payload | The unique identifier of the button that can be retrieved when the user clicks it. | |
Text | The text of the quick reply button. This is the text of the button. | |
Alternate Text | Text to be used on any text-only channel (e.g. WhatsApp) | |
Expression | Standard Xenioo expression that can be used to trigger this button from standard users message | |
Image | The url of the image that will be displayed on the button |
This action will display as many buttons as the records returned by the current Database Query.
The dynamic contents of each button can be set using standard dynamic parsing variables referencing the cursor_current_record variable. If, as an example, we would like to display the field "ButtonText" of our current collection query inside the Text of our buttons we would just specify it like this:
Any other current variable is of course supported in all parsed fields.
As the user clicks any of the buttons created by this action, the last_command variable will be set with the Payload value or, if empty, with the Text value.
Telegram does not allow buttons to be displayed without any preceding text. Please make sure to have at least one text bubble before any quick button or no button will be displayed.
