Message with Buttons Node Parameters

The Message with Buttons node (MessageKeyboard, send-message-keyboard) sends a message with text and buttons to the client. After sending, the scenario waits for a response (button click or text). Typically used for menu selection, request category prompts, and branching the dialogue. In Node Inspector (right panel) the following sections are available:

Basic Settings

  • Message text — text the client sees before the buttons.
  • Output Variable — where to store the client's response (button click or entered text).

Attachments

  • Attachment type — image, video, file.
  • Source — File (upload from computer) or Link (enter URL).
  • Value — path to uploaded file or media URL.

Attachments are displayed together with the message text.

Messengers

  • Supported channels — limit which messengers show this message (Telegram, Viber, WhatsApp, Widget, Facebook, etc.).
  • If the list is empty — the message is shown on all channels.

Buttons

  • Keyboard type — inline (below message) or reply (standard keyboard).
  • Button list — button text, value (payload), type (callback, url, phone).
  • Each button can lead to a separate scenario branch (edge labeled with the value).
  • For advanced integrators: each button has JSON fields (jsonFields) for messenger-specific parameters.

Validation

Client input validation (when they type text instead of clicking a button):

  • Type — none (no validation), email, phone, integer, image, regexp, custom.
  • Error message — text the client sees for invalid input.
  • Limits — min/max characters, min/max value (for integer).
  • Regexp / Custom — custom regex pattern.

If type: none — the bot accepts any response without validation.

Advanced Settings

  • Show typing indicator (sendTyping) — show "typing…" before the message.
  • Send delay (slowMode) — delay before sending the message. When enabled, Delay seconds (1–60) is available.
  • Allow interruption (allowInterrupt) — client can send a message before sending completes.
  • Save to Custom Data — store response in Custom Data module (model and field).
  • Statistics — select funnel and position for node execution tracking.
  • Facebook Ads — JSON generator for Facebook Ads integration (for advanced integrators).

JSON Data

For advanced integrators — manual editing of jsonData and messageJsonData for messenger-specific settings.
