I am using facebook messenger bot buliding with Nodejs. Can I disable text input using an API when the bot sends a message within a button? Is there any strategy possible when the bot only the message, input remains enabled and disabled when sends buttons/quick_replies?
Let me some add picture below to make my query most clear and I need text input disabled where placeholder "type a message is written"

Unfortunately, this is not possible with Facebook Messenger. As suggested by Milton, you should validate incoming text and decide if the user meant certain input. You should be aware of typos and case however.
In my experience, when we don't get the user input we repeat the question with explanation and give quick replies again.
