What are Quick Reply Buttons?

Quick Replies are buttons displayed below a WhatsApp message, which enable users to send a response without the need to type it manually.

Example: For taking customer feedback, you can add Quick Replies at the end of the message such as, "I am very happy", "I am Satisfied", "Not Happy"

You can add a maximum of three Quick Reply Buttons in a WhatsApp Template Message.
