List

Renders a list of items grouped by categories on a drawer.

This feature is only supported on the WhatsApp channel for the following WA API providers: 360Dialog, Meta, and GupShup.

This action block is used for a rich approach of allowing users to choose from a list of options. Mostly used as an alternative to the 'Option' action block, as it it not user-friendly and prone to users from the users.

Configurations on the action block

Head

Shows the text entered in a bold format -- making it look like a title.

Body

The text will be the question associated while showing the list of options.

Footer

An optional field where a help text is entered. Mostly a disclaimer, visualized in a grey color.

Button name

Along with the above, there will be a button that is displayed, on click of which will we show the list of options in a drawer format.

Here you can write the name of the button like 'Choose', 'Select' etc.
