As far as I can see, the WhatsApp messaging API does not support responding to a particular message. You can check their messaging API reference here. Consequently, the Twilio API for WhatsApp also does not support replying to a specific message.
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.

Below is information on Twilio WhatsApp templates (which are used to initiate contact to the consumer). The Twilio WhatsApp sandbox has some default templates but you must define templates for Twilio WhatsApp enabled numbers.

The Twilio API for WhatsApp now supports interactive message templates. Check out the documentation for using buttons in WhatsApp templates here.
Is it possible to use conversation provided by twilio and add whatsapp number as an SMS participant? I tried using conversation to integrate slack but not sure how to replicate for whatsapp.
There is documentation showing how to add a WhatsApp user into a Twilio Conversation.

The WhatsApp syntax is to prefix the number with whatsapp:, such as shown here.

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.
