Send Buttons

[graficar]

Please can you help me.

I am trying to send buttons from the API directly. The data I am trying to send is:

This sending produces the following error:

[devlikeapro-whatsapp-http-api-pl] [2025-01-11 21:34:41] [21:34:41.667] WARN (NOWEBEngine/1): session:9df0225a-2e38-4574-a88c-fcf7460e553a - failed to obtain extra info {"session":"9df0225a-2e38-4574-a88c-fcf7460e553a","trace":"Error: Input file contains unsupported image format\n at Sharp.metadata (/app/node_modules/sharp/lib/input.js:486:17)\n at extractImageThumb (/app/node_modules/@adiwajshing/baileys/lib/Utils/messages-media.js:109:38)\n at process.processTicksAndRejections (node:internal/process/task_queues:105:5)\n at async generateThumbnail (/app/node_modules/@adiwajshing/baileys/lib/Utils/messages-media.js:292:38)\n at async /app/node_modules/@adiwajshing/baileys/lib/Utils/messages.js:131:68\n at async Promise.all (index 1)\n at async prepareWAMessageMedia (/app/node_modules/@adiwajshing/baileys/lib/Utils/messages.js:122:40)\n at async WhatsappSessionNoWebPlus.uploadMedia (/app/dist/plus/engines/noweb/session.noweb.plus.js:29:34)\n at async WhatsappSessionNoWebPlus.sendButtons (/app/dist/core/engines/noweb/session.noweb.core.js:476:29)"}

As I do not need an image on the buttons I remove it and leave the json like this:

The response from the API is:

But nothing is sent and no action appears in the log.

Hi! Sorry, buttons don't work right now, we're searching the solution, but no ETA right now!

Please let us know when it can be used.

Hi @devlikepro is this a bug, or did meta block it?

[devlikepro]

Hi! Buttons are fragily creatures, no gurantue it'll always work :( Looks like Meta got patched our solution recently...
Consider having a fallback logic to regular text in case of such errors.
We'll see what we can do with buttons 🤞

Consider using polls/text messages for now https://waha.devlike.pro/docs/how-to/polls/
