What is List Messages?

An interactive message that presents a menu of options for the customer to choose from.

A list message is an interactive WhatsApp message type that displays a button which, when tapped, opens a scrollable menu of up to several options grouped into sections. Each option can have a title and a short description, and selecting one sends that choice back to the business.

List messages are ideal when you have more choices than fit neatly into reply buttons — for example a menu of services, FAQ topics, store departments, or appointment times. They keep the chat tidy while presenting many options.

Because the customer simply taps a clear choice, list messages reduce errors and speed up navigation through automated menus.
