# `ExGram.Model.ForceReply`
[🔗](https://github.com/rockneurotiko/ex_gram/blob/0.64.0/lib/ex_gram.ex#L4924)

Upon receiving a message with this object, Telegram clients will display a reply interface to the user (act as if the user has selected the bot's message and tapped 'Reply'). This can be extremely useful if you want to create user-friendly step-by-step interfaces without having to sacrifice privacy mode. Not supported in channels and for messages sent on behalf of a Telegram Business account.

Check the [documentation of this model on Telegram Bot API](https://core.telegram.org/bots/api#forcereply)

- `force_reply`: Shows reply interface to the user, as if they manually selected the bot's message and tapped 'Reply'
- `input_field_placeholder (optional)`: Optional. The placeholder to be shown in the input field when the reply is active; 1-64 characters
- `selective (optional)`: Optional. Use this parameter if you want to force reply from specific users only. Targets: 1) users that are @mentioned in the text of the Message object; 2) if the bot's message is a reply to a message in the same chat and forum topic, sender of the original message.
