I am using a Twilio WhatsApp template to broadcast a message to the users and one of the placeholders in the template takes a youtube URL as input. A normal whatsapp message with youtube URL generates a youtube thumbnail on sending to the user. But in a twilio approved template with youtube URL, the thumbnail doesn't load when the message is sent. Is there way to keep the youtube thumbnail even for a twilio template?

There is very little I can find in the WhatsApp API documentation on URLs in template messages. I did find these WhatsApp template message guidelines that say that:
The URL domain in your links should belong to your business.
It's possible that WhatsApp will only show a URL preview in a template message if the URL domain is from your business.
You might find better answers asking in the WhatsApp developer community channel.

I see WhatsApp supports other response types such as:
Lists
Multi-product message
Product display page (PDP)
Cart
Order message
Are these accessible via the Twilio platform? We currently integrate via Twilio conversations and wondered if these are supported? I could not find anything when I searched the documentation.

I'm currently using Twilio WhatsApp API and Bot Framework Direct Line channel to try integrating my chatbot to WhatsApp.
Since my chatbot conversation is guided, a lot of PromptDialog.Choices messages are used (which is a hero cards). Is there a way to send these messages as their expected form (meaning with buttons for clicking) to Whatsapp using Twilio WhatsApp API ?

Currently the Twilio API for WhatsApp doesn't support media. This is being developed.
However, the WhatsApp API itself doesn't support the concept of a hero card or buttons for responding to messages.
