is there any possibility and implementation of this function?

Nice one. I will look into it.

in another project here at git, some progress has been made with this type of message. But it seems that whatsapp blocks when it is sent to.

Any further developments? Really excited to get this one!

[byeze]

I would love to have this!

Those messages with buttons looks awesome! Hope we can use that in this library in the future!

Edit:
As said on open-wa library, this feature is impossible to have at the moment, because it needs WhatsApp Oficial API (paid) to use those buttons, so its a feature that whatsapp doesn't permit normal business users to use, only those business accounts that pay alot of money to have the official api.

As of now, you can only view messages in buttons (msg.buttons), each button has it's own ID and the button layout itself has to be verified by whatsapp moderators before being assigned an ID.

Closing this issue, you are welcome to open it again if you think this was done in error.

The thing you are referring to is not relevant here, the advance they made is in a legacy version of the template message, called a button message. those are two different things, though they might seem similar. #756 has done this greatly so far, if that's what you wish for.

So how do this library allow the template buttons with regular/business whatsapp?
