2. [Suggested actions](#suggested-actions)
## Disable chat input
Chatbot can disable client chat input by using [input hints](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/bot-service/rest-api/bot-framework-rest-connector-add-input-hints?view=azure-bot-service-4.0#ignoring-input). So, if the last activity from the chatbot has `"inputHint": "ignoringInput"`, input will be disabled.
## Suggested actions
Chatbot can completely hide client chat input by using this feature, known as [suggested actions](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/bot-service/rest-api/bot-framework-rest-connector-add-suggested-actions?view=azure-bot-service-3.0) of type [imBack](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/bot-service/rest-api/bot-framework-rest-connector-add-rich-cards?view=azure-bot-service-3.0#process-events-within-rich-cards).
Just add the following code to the activity where some action from the client is expected:
```json
"suggestedActions": {
"actions": [
{
"type": "imBack",
"title": "Eat",
"value": "client_eat"
},
{
"type": "imBack",
"title": "Drink",
"value": "client_drink"
},
{
"type": "imBack",
"title": "Sleep",
"value": "client_sleep"
},
{
"type": "imBack",
"title": "Repeat",
"value": "client_repeat",
"image": "img link"
}
]
}
```
