**A Big Thanks** to the folks for creating the [https://nodebots.zoom.us/botbuilderkit/page/createMessage](https://nodebots.zoom.us/botbuilderkit/page/createMessage) . Absolutely brilliant!

**Which App Type (OAuth / Chatbot / JWT / Webhook)?**  
Am using Chatbot with a webHook to my backend

**Description**  
Example: 3 buttons are shown to user. User might click the same button twice of click two in rapid succession

The question is: is there anyway to immediately show a different screen or message or disable other buttons when one button has been clicked, so that the user is not clicking more than one button at a given time?

I know that the message showing the 3 buttons can always be “edited” by my backend: but that involves a time delay during which the user could have clicked another button

Thanks

Hey @vnkmd,

My understanding is that currently we don’t have a way to disable clicked buttons or debounce them. If you would like this feature to be considered for a future release, I recommend posting in the #feature-requests category.

Thanks,  
Max
