twilio/call-to-action
Twilio/call-to-action buttons let recipients tap to trigger actions such as launching a website or making a phone call.
Call-to-action buttons can only be sent via WhatsApp as approved templates.
If you are using a URL button and want to submit the template for WhatsApp approval, the URL must resolve to a publicly accessible website. If there is a variable, a valid path sample should be included in the variables array. The combined URL should resolve to a publicly accessible website.
Example:
"url": ["https://www.twilio.com/{{1}}"] would include a path sample in the variables definition."variables": {"1": "docs"}
Twilio/call-to-action templates can be sent via Whatsapp for out of session messages with variables. If the template's body starts or ends with a variable or has two variables next to each other, the template will not be approved by Whatsapp without a sample variable. For additional information about variables see Using Variables with Content Templates.
