Motivation
As a developer of a bot, I want to suggest a response to the user. Instead of just making the user to send a fully predefined message, the user shall adjust the message (think of it as a template for the reply).
This reduces typing overhead, reduces errors during the conversation and makes sure the user follows some expected structure
Implementation
There already was a
message-actionto send a message by clicking a button living in an attachment.This enhancement allows to create an action button (either from an integration, an API or a bot) which copies a predefined message as template into the message input (browser only!)
Consumption
The button is part of an attachment's actions and can be created anywhere there is a message being created.
Sample for an outgoing integration
How it looks like
Sample: A Daily-Bot is gathering input from users:

Open issues
Mobile adaption - since this is a client side action, the mobile apps would have to implement this copy-to-input as well.
