  • Disappear once an option is pressed

  • Can have up to 11 options

  • Each option is limited to 20 text characters

  • If the total length of the quick replies is bigger than the width of the screen the respondent can scroll horizontally to see the other quick replies

See below for how Quick replies looks on a mobile phone.

Buttons

Buttons are used on a few different message types which are Text cards, Cards and Galleries. They can also be used when creating a campaign welcome message. Buttons appear directly below the message and are attached to the message.
