How to show bot commands after adding bot to a chat/group

Question

Hi,

I am exploring bots in teams and came across Jira cloud bot. Jira cloud show commands whenever app is added to a chat/group. Please check below image which shows three commands.

Could someone please point me to the documentation on how to add similar commands to my bot?

Thanks,

Tirupathi

Please refer below documentation which explains how to define a set of core commands that your bot can respond to. You can add a command menu with a dropdown list of commands for your bot

The screenshot you have provided is of Suggested actions that will enable your bot to present buttons.
