Viber - Hide the user field input when sending Keyboard Message

I'm trying to send a Text Message with a keyboard. I found in the docs that I can hide the input field of the user by setting the value of InputFieldState to hidden but the user input field is still there when I send the message.

Solution

  • Try this. Define the keyboard

    const KEYBOARD_JSON = {
 "Type": "keyboard",
 "InputFieldState": "hidden",
 "Buttons": [{ // This is just an example
    "Columns": 6,
    "Rows": 1,
    "ActionType": "reply",
    "ActionBody": "Get started",
    "Text": "Get started",
    "BgColor": "#F0923F",
    "TextSize": "regular",
    "TextHAlign": "center",
    "TextVAlign": "middle",
    "Silent": "true"
 }]
}

    define the message using the KeyboardMessage constructor with the below optional arguments.

    const your_message = new KeyboardMessage(KEYBOARD_JSON, null, null, null, 3); // If it didn't work with min_api_version 3, try 4
