Interactive Messages: Buttons, Lists and CTAs That Get Replies
Interactive messages replace 'reply with 1 for yes' friction with tappable reply buttons, list menus and call-to-action buttons — turning multi-step decisions into a single tap and dramatically lifting response and completion rates.

Why it works
Every character a customer has to type is friction and error. Buttons and lists collapse choices (pick a service, confirm or decline, choose a slot) into a tap — clearer for the user, cleaner data for you, and far higher completion than free-text replies. They are the backbone of good WhatsApp UX.
Use cases
Common patterns include appointment confirm and reschedule, menu navigation, order actions, feedback (rate 1 to 5 as buttons), and routing ('Sales / Support / Billing'). Interactive messages pair naturally with chatbots and FAQ automation, so a tap can hand straight off to bot logic or a live agent.
