I developed a Telegram bot that utilizes an inline keyboard through InlineKeyboardMarkup. I want the keyboard to disappear or function as temporary after the user interacts with it. What is the best way to achieve this in PHP?
Here’s a snapshot of my bot:
A practical way to hide the inline keyboard once the user interacts with it is to send an updated message without the keyboard. After capturing the user’s callback query, you can use the editMessageReplyMarkup method from Telegram’s Bot API to remove the keyboard by setting ‘reply_markup’ to null. It effectively makes the keyboard vanish after the interaction. Ensure to check for callback data and then appropriately respond by editing the message content or simply the markup.
