Is there a way to use the method below to send a message which is a dropdown without having to do chatbot integration?

## Send a chat message

POST /chat/users/{userId}/messages

Send chat messages to a user in your contact list or to a [channel](https://support.zoom.us/hc/en-us/articles/200912909-Getting-Started-With-Channels-Group-Messaging-) of which you are a member.  
For user-level apps, pass [the `me` value](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/api-reference/using-zoom-apis#mekeyword) instead of the `userId` parameter.

To send a message to a contact, provide the contact’s email address in the `to_contact` field.  
To send a message to a channel, provide the channel’s ID in `to_channel` parameter

Thanks
