Hey All,

I was wondering if someone know how to change the button when once click to text. For ex:

What is your gender:

button1: “Male”

button2:“Female”

if someone clicks on Male, you get the message, change the original message by removing buttons and putting text for original Male button as ‘✅ Male’…

If someone can help, it would be really great.

> Updates a message.

Thanks 🙂

Hi Aditya,

The current slack channel doesn’t support the chat.update method. You can view the code [here](https://github.com/RasaHQ/rasa/blob/master/rasa/core/channels/slack.py). Support for the [chat\_update](https://github.com/slackapi/python-slackclient/blob/7a045607fde73d252e9e74a1b2f397b88a7d50af/tutorial/PythOnBoardingBot/app.py#L67) call would be a nice enhancement. Would you consider adding this feature?

Greg

Would love to. Once I have it working, I will create a PR upstream. 🙂
