Can facebook-chat-api sent a template question as the picture below?

Are you chatting with a bot on messenger?

@thaspoom this api can only do things that users can do. Afaik, users can't send a template message. You probably want to use something like this: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/messenger-platform

While the templates are always sent from the "other side", that is the chatbot code through the messenger-platform, it would be cool if we could simulate pressing on one of the buttons from the template - a postback occurs there, and I don't know how to simulate this.

I believe that functionality is only available to pages and their users and not available to one-to-one and group messages.

I think the original question is answered. Not sure about interacting with chatbot templates, but that can probably be it's own thing if people really want it.
