On WhatsApp, with a number. When there are clear options (confirming something, choosing between two or three paths), your agent offers them so you can choose with a tap instead of typing. It shows you up to six short options per message. Clara's message with the buttons Report, Shopping and Doctor appointments; Doctor appointments marked with a checkmark ## How they work * **Tap one and that's your answer,** as if you'd typed it. * **You can only choose once per message.** The chosen option is marked with ✓ and the rest are dimmed. * **Some are links:** they open a page instead of answering (they show a ↗). * **You can always type** something else instead of tapping a button. Doctor appointments marked with a checkmark; Report and Shopping dimmed ## On each channel | Channel | How they look | How you choose | | - | - | - | | **minai chat** | Buttons under the message | Tap one; it gets a ✓ | | **Telegram** | Buttons under the message | Tap one; only the chosen one stays, with ✓ (for example, “✓ Doctor appointments”). If you tap another: “You already picked an option.” | | **Slack** | Buttons | Click one; the message adds the chosen one with ✓ | | **WhatsApp** | Numbered list at the end of the message | Answer with the number or the text | On a phone: the Doctor appointments option chosen with a checkmark and the rest dimmed ## Examples * Your agent: "Should I keep it casual or more formal with you?" → **Casual** · **Formal** * Your agent: "How often do you want me to check your email?" → **Every 1 hour** · **Every 2 hours** · **Don't remind me** * Your agent, before sending an email for you: → **Send** · **Change** ## One-time link buttons In the minai chat, when your agent needs a key or to connect an account, the link shows up as a button: **Enter key**, **Connect WhatsApp** or **Connect Google**. It opens inside the app and works only once. See [Keys and values](/en/tools/keys-and-values). ## Good to know * From the app you can't tap the buttons in Telegram or Slack chats: you choose on the platform. * WhatsApp has no buttons: options always arrive as a numbered list. What changes from one channel to another. Everything the app's chat shows. This documentation is built and hosted on [Mintlify](https://mintlify.com), a developer documentation platform.
