Hi

I have a requirement to show a list of items in Facebook Messanger. the dynamic list will get from webhook, which is in actions.py file. How can I send that list… which dispatcher I should use. I am using dispatcher.utter\_button\_message, but it takes only three items, but I have more than three items. Please help me

I cannot help you with Facebook, because they block the account where I tried to add the chatbot. I did a test in rasa shell with the following:

```
buttons = []
for b in b_list:
    pl = "/inform{\"item\": \"" + b + "\"}"
    buttons.append( {"title": b, "payload": pl} )
dispatcher.utter_button_message("Select one item from the list.", buttons)

```

and was able to get a list with 6 buttons.

Hi @RajCollection, you should be getting this warning message: [rasa/facebook.py at master · RasaHQ/rasa · GitHub](https://github.com/RasaHQ/rasa/blob/master/rasa/core/channels/facebook.py#L163)

Facebook does not allow more than 3 buttons.
