Allowing your bot to edit or delete messages based on user interactions enhances the interactive experience. This feature is particularly useful when users engage with inlineMarkup keyboard buttons or other interactive elements.
Edit a message by using the edit element in your bot configuration.
This is often triggered by user interactions such as clicking a button:
handlers:
- on:
message:
command: start
reply:
- message:
text: "Click the button to see message edits"
markup:
inlineKeyboard:
- - text: "Click"
callback: inc-counter
- on:
callback: inc-counter
reply:
- callback:
text: "Click"
- edit:
message:
text: "You clicked this button ${state.counter} times."
inlineKeyboard:
- - text: "Button"
callback: inc-counter
state:
ops:
- kind: add
key: counter
value: "1"
In this example, each button click increments a counter and updates the message text accordingly.
Delete a message by using the delete: true flag in your bot configuration.
This is often triggered by user interactions such as clicking a button:
handlers:
- on:
message:
command: start
reply:
- message:
text: "Click the button to delete this message"
markup:
inlineKeyboard:
-
- text: "Delete"
callback: delete
- on:
callback: delete
reply:
- callback:
text: "Deleted"
delete: true
This example deletes the message when the “Delete” button is clicked.
Enhance user engagement by leveraging message editing and deleting in response to specific user interactions.
