Error "Unknown action in form note" in WebApp, when you click on the button

[Panda58dev (Kirill)]

The documentation for the drafty format (link) specifies several actions to click on the button, among them is the "note" action. In practice, if I specify this action, the error "Unknown action in form note" occurs. Looking into the code, I saw that there is actually no processing of such an action (link).

Test message with buttons:
{"data":{"topic":"usr30xS93xaTC8","from":"usr30xS93xaTC8","ts":"2024-08-30T12:00:53.400Z","seq":82,"head":{"mime":"text/x-drafty"},"content":{"ent":[{"data":{"act":"note","name":"generate_group"},"tp":"BN"},{"data":{"act":"note","name":"make_root"},"tp":"BN"}],"fmt":[{"len":4,"tp":"ST"},{"at":16,"len":1,"tp":"BR"},{"at":17,"len":16},{"at":33,"key":1,"len":25},{"at":58,"len":1,"tp":"BR"}],"txt":"Меню управления: Генерация групп Сделать пользователя ROOT test"}}}

Handler in devtools:

Am I doing something wrong?

Where do you see the error "Unknown action in form note" and what does WebApp have to do with gRPC?

What do you see in the logs (client-side and server-side)?

This message appears in the browser console when you click on the button in the message. I think this can be considered a client-side log
There is nothing in the logs of the server side, because the client does not send anything.

Buttons (in drafty format) are sent by the bot via grpc. I'm trying to interact with the bot via WebApp.

'note' action is not implemented. Here is the handler:

https://github.com/tinode/webapp/blob/7b15cf1f19eebe1ed98a244af2df36c256f30773/src/views/messages-view.jsx#L783

If you want it handled, then you need to implement it yourself.

I may be able to deal with the web version of the client, but I'm unlikely to deal with mobile clients. Then I will use the 'pub'.
Thanks for clarifying the situation, but the documentation is misleading.

If you need our assistance, please describe your use case. I.e. how are you going to use this functionality.

I have already implemented it on 'pub', but I think that when using 'note', after clicking, the server should send a message to the grpc client "such a button was pressed". As far as I know, something similar is implemented in telegram. After receiving a message from the grpc server, the client (aka bot) can edit his message from the menu or send a new one. This way the chat will be less clogged. Imho.

There is a conflict.
