Custom menu is currently still in the official beta stage, with only a small number of media categories and Enterprise public accounts are eligible to use, but ZTalk did not apply for it and could only introduce it through other people's background screenshots. Let me tell you something scandalous before the introduction. For the sake of demonstration, I deleted all the menus of bianews. I thought it would be fine without previewing and saving, but it turned out that deleting it just disappeared. Then I tried it again according to the menu settings on my mobile phone. Here By the way, I would like to remind everyone, please be careful when deleting menus... The main setting page of the custom menu is as follows: 
Add the main menu button, which is the most popular one on the public platform. Only three menus can be created at the bottom.
Sorting can reorder the menu, just drag the menu directly, as shown below: 
Menu action setting box. The custom menu currently only has two actions, one is to click to display the submenu, and the other is to click to send a message.

The preview will pop up a simulated mobile phone box for the editor to see the effect, as shown below:

The main menu can also add the action of sending messages when no submenu is added, that is, when the public account clicks on the main menu, a graphic message or multimedia message is sent;

Submenu action settings. Submenu actions can only be bound to send messages. The message types include text, voice, pictures, videos and graphic messages.
The basic introduction to the editing mode of the public platform is these. It is relatively simple, but the simpler things are, as long as you are willing to think carefully, you can play different things. The next issue will bring you Let's take an example operation.
