# Send buttons

Let customers tap up to three quick replies instead of typing — ideal for yes/no questions, confirmations, and simple choices inside an active chat.

## At a glance

| Item | Detail |
| --- | --- |
| `type` | `buttons` |
| Channel support | Official and unofficial |
| Unofficial | May be delivered as formatted fallback text |
| Session | Typically used inside the customer service window |

## Request body

| Field | Required | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `channel_id` | Yes | Sender channel ID |
| `to` | Yes | Recipient phone number |
| `type` | Yes | `buttons` |
| `content.body` | Yes | Message text above the buttons |
| `content.buttons` | Yes | Array of `{ "id", "title" }` |
