"Click" to reply a button message

[diegoavidal]

Is there a way to make the API 'click' a button? I'm using WAHA for testing purposes. The idea is to receive a message with a button and click it to check if it's working.

Hi!
First of all, how do you send buttons 🤣 Could you share the message? :) Or you're using official API?

Sure, we could add "click on button" API, but because buttons are not working in WAHA it's hard to test and research :(

Hi!
The bot uses the official WhatsApp Business API, and we send the buttons using that. The idea is to use WAHA to perform integration tests using WhatsApp to ensure everything works as expected. Currently, we can receive messages and read the answers, but we can't press the buttons. Our current 'solution' is to simulate a webhook, but this creates some issues with the API because the ID of the message doesn't exist in WhatsApp.

Are you able to send the buttons to me for tests?
If you do - consider getting WAHA PRO tier and contact to me via Discord, we need to reverse protocol for that and will add "button click" action together with your help!

Hi! Send Dm in discord about the way to test it
