Button usage

Rasa Open Source

Is there any other way that I can use “only buttons” without “text” in custom action?

I need to use a button functionality. while I try to use “utter_message” i should add the “text” attribute also. but I don’t want to display text above my button.

utter_message

Thanks :slight_smile:

@Zeusturbo Then what the significance of the button without text?

I think you can exclude the text and pass button only or you can use template i.e template=“utter_message”

 button2=[
                  {
                      "title": "great",
                      "payload": "great"
                  },
                  {
                      "title": "super sad",
                      "payload": "super sad"
                  }
              ]

   dispatcher.utter_message(text="Hey! How you doing?", buttons=button2)

Or

ispatcher.utter_message(template="utter_message")

@Zeusturbo Can you mention which front end you are using for the deployment purpose? Well, this issue is related to the front end not with Rasa. If you can share which then I can help. Try different colors for the button to differentiate.

@nik202 Hi, Currently im using Telegram to test my stuff. i tried with RasaX already but it was not worked as per my expectations. so i stick with Telegram in the meanwhile.

@Zeusturbo Honestly saying these issue is related to Front End only, I mean Telegram ( thou I never used Telegram, is you can customize the code?) If not I will encourage to use Rasa Webchat for deployment purpose.

For Integration please follow this link Rasa Webchat Integration - #119 by Horizon733

I hope it will help you :slight_smile:

Oh you want it to be vertical instead of horizontal right? Add this into your buttons json button_type: vertical

json = {
"text": "your text",
    "button_type": "vertical",
    "buttons":[
{
     "title": "yes",
      "payload": "/affirm"},
{"title": "No",
      "payload": "/deny"
}
]
}

@Horizon733 Yep, I need to display the button in a vertical way.
