**Quick Replies**

Quick replies provide a way to present a set of up to 13 buttons in conversation. You can also use quick replies to request a person's location, email address, and phone number. These are like “suggestions” or “autocomplete” tips to help the user decide what to reply. These are dynamic inputs for BotDistrikt. Clicking on a quick reply is the same as typing the text inside.

### Add a Button

You may add buttons only to a **text** and **card** response.&#x20;

A button can be linked to the following:

* **Website URL**
* **Story**
* **Phone number**
* **Text**

☑️ ***URL***&#x20;

![Add a Button](https://2535542804-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-legacy-files/o/assets%2F-LirAdLo22OkAW9w3tvY%2F-MDnwatFyZ_z-Sv3-73Y%2F-MDo2qhyHKd94auiK7fP%2FScreen%20Shot%202020-08-03%20at%207.21.04%20PM.png?alt=media\&token=2004e8eb-349e-4db1-9084-56aec25f7dee)

You may add a URL to the button and when users click on the button, they will be redirected to the URL in a web browser. If you encounter an error, please check that the website starts with HTTP or HTTPS. &#x20;

️️☑️ ***Story***&#x20;

![Story Button](https://2535542804-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-legacy-files/o/assets%2F-LirAdLo22OkAW9w3tvY%2F-MDo7S1k2s4ED74-PFOv%2F-MDo88OQtWLr__myFOWY%2FScreen%20Shot%202020-08-03%20at%207.44.10%20PM.png?alt=media\&token=382afac5-2166-4f57-97ef-3dd77ad3fe34)

You may link the button to a Story. When the user clicks the button, the story triggers. You may also create a new story here by typing a story name. &#x20;

**☑️&#x20;*****Phone***

![Add Phone](https://2535542804-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-legacy-files/o/assets%2F-LirAdLo22OkAW9w3tvY%2F-MDo7S1k2s4ED74-PFOv%2F-MDo8HZOKDBkV2S-X3Rn%2FScreen%20Shot%202020-08-03%20at%207.44.33%20PM.png?alt=media\&token=5a62780c-ae32-413e-95a0-78db647f19c0)

You may link the button to a phone number. Once the user clicks on the button, they will trigger a phone call to the listed number. Depending on which messaging app is used, the phone call will use the app's phone functionality. The phone number must begin with + followed by the country code. Example +65/+1/+44, etc.&#x20;

**☑️&#x20;*****Text***

![Text Response](https://2535542804-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-legacy-files/o/assets%2F-LirAdLo22OkAW9w3tvY%2F-MDo7S1k2s4ED74-PFOv%2F-MDo8QEUaPrkpCMDZmQ3%2FScreen%20Shot%202020-08-03%20at%207.47.00%20PM.png?alt=media\&token=4e97f203-3abe-4e41-8b53-ab4cd5d4a7cf)

The Text button mimics the quick replies. It is an alternative method of providing quick replies but is tied down to its text or card response. This is beneficial to messaging apps that do not support quick replies but only support buttons. &#x20;
