How can I get users to select multiple options as input within a facebook messenger chatbot?

Question

I am working on a form-fill bot, which takes takes user input in free text format, throws 3-4 relevant set of questions and give the relevant search results from the website. In this process, how can I collect information from users for questions where answers can be more than one.

For Example: What are the list of languages you are fluent in? [] English [] French [] Hindi [] Urdu

How can I fill more than one option? In conventional forms, we user checkboxes. But how to do it in FB messenger.

Thanks in advance

Currently there is no such support for it, but a work around would be using list template with buttons there corresponding payloads. You can send a list of languages to render with two buttons yes/no in order to take user input. Here is the link to docs https://developers.facebook.com/docs/messenger-platform/send-api-reference/list-template
