This feature is supported only in WhatsApp Official & WhatsApp Web Automation Channel with the below channel wise limitations.
WhatsApp Official & Cloud API | WhatsApp Web Automation |
Possible only to get the context id when the user quote and reply, it's not possible for businesses to give a quoted reply like in regular WhatsApp | Possible to send and receive quoted messages i.e you will able to know when the user quote a reply also you will be able to send a message with your quoted reply. |

When you are sending a message out using Push API you will get a unique message id (msg_id) for each mobile number. Refer Here Complete the Response Variable
When a user replied to the particular message in the Webhook you will get the message id (msg_id) as Context Id (context-msg-id)
Using this Context Message ID you can easily identify the conversation context when the user quote a reply to a message sent by you, refer to the below image for better understanding;
This is a new variable “payload” available in the Push API in order to track the quick reply button clicks, i.e when you send a message with interactive buttons and when the user clicked the button you will get the payload passed by you in the webhook, you can pass separate payload for each button to make the user reply tracking easier.
Please note passing payload is only supported for sending WhatsApp templates with Quick Replies
Payload needs to be passed as per the position of the approved quick replies buttons.
When you are using WhatsApp Web Automation it's possible to send and receive quoted replies exactly the same as how you are using in the WhatsApp personal or business app, you just need to listen for the msg_id and unique-id variables and pass this to the quoted variable as per the situation you needed;
