# List

{% hint style="info" %}
This feature is only supported on the **WhatsApp channel** for the following WA API providers: 360Dialog, Meta, and GupShup.
{% endhint %}

This action block is used for a rich approach of allowing users to choose from a list of options. Mostly used as an alternative to the '[Option](https://help.supporthunt.com/action-blocks/broken-reference)' action block, as it it not user-friendly and prone to users from the users.
