Can slot filling using buttons and from entities co-exist?

Can i use both buttons and entity extraction for slot filling? Say i have a yes or no question with a button payload. Can i fill the same slot with entity extraction method as well ?

Suppose this is my condition - do you want this feature for which a button action is there with true or false. But if the user asks the bot i want a product with this feature before this slot action gets triggered, i need to fill in that slot with a boolean value and avoid asking the question anymore.

Thanks

Yes of course!

Entities are the core way of slot filling. Buttons are nothing more than a way to force an entity into a message.
