Conversation

There are 5 ways to do a conversation with the bot in order to make them interactive:

  1. Commands with parameters like /pay 1000 @user1
  2. Dialogue with the bot like
User: /pay
Bot: Please enter the amount
User: 1000
Bot: Please enter the receiver's username
User: @user1
Bot: Done! Here is the transaction ID: 123456789
  1. Inline keyboard
User: /pay
Bot: [Yes][No]
User: Clicked on [Yes] button
Bot: Done!
  1. Reply keyboard
    • Works like inline keyboard but with a different UI coming from bottom of the screen. Mostly used for less options like Yes/No, etc.
  2. Open a Web App/Page & let the user interact with it
    1. Put the link in the bot's message
    2. Put the link in the bot's inline keyboard
