Actions in an Interaction

Action is a  single instruction inside an Interaction. Such multiple actions when tied together in a proper sequence can create a valid operation. For example, a group of actions to mimic entering a form.


nativeMsg provides a variety of actions that you can add to an interaction. A simple and easy to use interface is designed to add the required action and set appropriate values to the options.


While creating action by specifying the necessary values, you can also action buttons and quick replies for the user to respond when they receive the message. These action buttons can help you collect more information from the user without any human interaction.


You must first create an interaction to add the required actions. For more information, see Adding Interactions.
