Perhaps the most popular input method on TARS bot platform is quick-reply buttons.
Within this input UI, people can create new buttons using the add option feature and change the text of each button by replacing the default text.
Under these buttons users can toggle several options on and off:
Send on tap– when this setting is turned on and a user taps the button within the chat, the selected option is sent instantly as opposed to the user having to press a button and then press send to send the selected option
Optional input- Users are given the option not to give input in this gambit
Multiple Input- When option is on users will be allowed to send multiple buttons before moving on in the conversation
Branching – When multiple buttons are made by a builder and this option is on, bot creators can redirect the conversation flow based on the button the user selects.
For example when the builder does not keep this option on there is only one connector from the gambit. When the bot creator turns this option on, connectors appear for each button so that selecting each one leads to a different gambit.
