i would like to do something like below on button select “button 1” payload should display one more button/quick reply template.

“payload”: {
“template_type”: “button”,
“text”: “What do you want to do next?”,
“buttons”:
[
{
“type”: “postback”,
“title”: “Start Chatting”,
“payload”: “USER_DEFINED_PAYLOAD”
}
]
}

var info = [“Button1”, “Button2”, “Button3”];
var message = {
“type”: “template”,
“payload”: {
“template_type”: “button”,
“text”: “Button Template Label”,
“subText”: “Button Template Description”,
“buttons”: []
}
};
for (i = 0; i < info.length; i++) {
// if the button is to send back text to platform
var button = {
“type”: “postback”,
“title”: info[i],
“payload”: {
“template_type”: “button”,
“text”: “What do you want to do next?”,
“buttons”:
[
{
“type”: “postback”,
“title”: “Start Chatting”,
“payload”: “USER_DEFINED_PAYLOAD”
}
]
}
};

/* Uncomment this if the button is to redirect to url
 var button = {
 "type":"web_url", // type can be "postback" if
 "url":"URL_TO_REDIRECT",

 };
 */

message.payload.buttons.push(button);

}
print(JSON.stringify(message));

Hi @sureka505,

We infer from your explanation that you would like to display a button template and then based on the selection, you would like to display another buttons group to the user.

Let us know if we understood your requirement.

Hi @sureka505,

For the button template 1, based on the selection(as per your requirement) made make a transition to another entity node that displays another button template.

This should allow you to achieve your requirement.

Let us know your thoughts on implementing this.

Based on selection payload value we are not able to capture or selected value we are not able to capture.

@sureka505,

You can capture the selected button name by sending the button name in the payload of the button object.
