Default could accept any text input on WhatsApp #1622

If the user types something on WhatsApp, the default option should work.

Otherwise there's absolutely no way to handle text when the user doesn't choose a button!?!

This is really broken.

It would be great if I could call AI when and ONLY when the user doesn't click on a button and types something on WhatsApp.

It would save money and also handle this annoying case.

I might explore this, but at its core Typebot is deterministic. On the Web you can't simply reply with a text input on a Buttons input. It just matches that behavior on WhatsApp for consistent purpose

It is like defaulting to a text input when typed instead of buttons. That's the ideal behaviour because there should be some way to capture non button input.
