List

Renders a list of items grouped by categories on a drawer.

This feature is only supported on the WhatsApp channel for the following WA API providers: 360Dialog, Meta, and GupShup.

This action block is used for a rich approach of allowing users to choose from a list of options. Mostly used as an alternative to the 'Option' action block, as it it not user-friendly and prone to users from the users.
