Template Form Message

[smartos99]

Hi,
I have create it a simple form template message with two checkmarks, and sending it through SendTextMessageTemplate function. And I'm getting the following error. "Please specify a flow button component within template['components']".

Alson, this happens when I run the following code in Postman:
'{
"messaging_product": "whatsapp",
"to": "{{Revipient-Phone-Number}}",
"type": "template",
"template": {
"name": "{{Template-Name}}",
"language": {
"code": "en_US"
},
}
}';

Error:
{
"error": {
"message": "(#131008) Required parameter is missing",
"type": "OAuthException",
"code": 131008,
"error_data": {
"messaging_product": "whatsapp",
"details": "Please specify a flow button component within template['components']"
},
"fbtrace_id": "AhBvdjX5XQ5SPu9TxhDKXzY"
}
}

What am I missing here?

Thank you in advance.

Hi, I guess you are trying to send a flow template message. You can try to use this function SendFlowMessageTemplateAsync

FlowTemplateMessageRequest flowTemplateMessageRequest = new FlowTemplateMessageRequest();
flowTemplateMessageRequest.To = "phonenumber";
flowTemplateMessageRequest.Template = new();
flowTemplateMessageRequest.Template.Name = "template name";
flowTemplateMessageRequest.Template.Language = new();
flowTemplateMessageRequest.Template.Language.Code = LanguageCode.English_US;
flowTemplateMessageRequest.Template.Components = new List<FlowMessageComponent>()
{
    new FlowMessageComponent()
    {
        Type = "button",
        SubType = "flow",
        Index = 0,
        Parameters = new List<FlowTemplateMessageParameter>()
        {
            new FlowTemplateMessageParameter()
            {
                Type = "action",
                Action = new FlowTemplateMessageAction()
                {
                    FlowToken = "",
                }
            }
        }
    }
};

var results = await _whatsAppBusinessClient.SendFlowMessageTemplateAsync(flowTemplateMessageRequest);
