If your WhatsApp Template has a Call-to-Action (CTA) button that links to a Dynamic URL, you can use it to send a customizable web address based on what your customer is looking for.

Variables: Map for dynamic content and bot flows.
Dynamic URLs: Create personalized CTA links.
If your WhatsApp Templates has Quick Reply buttons, you can trigger a Bot. In the button payload field, enter the intent for the bot will you want to trigger for the Quick Reply.
Once the Variable mapping and media mapping is done, we will proceed with review & configuring the Reply-to settings to send the broadcast.
