Hi! Welcome to our community :slight_smile:

You can post messages using our robust REST API, for example using this endpoint:

However, it’s limited to the specifications you can check on this link.

Whenever you want to do more (opening modals, buttons, dropdown and what not), the way to go is to develop an APP that can handle it.

A Rocket.Chat App can leverage our UI kit and use it.

As a coincidence, we are having a Community Open Call next week, where we’ll have out Front End Engineers talking about this subject: Rocket.Chat's Community Open Call | Rocket.Chat
