There is an option to sent a notification with a boolean response: yes or no.

I’d like to see that you can customize the yes and no, to perhaps: on or off per notification.

But better would be to have just a list of answers which you can process in your flow with logic. You could define 3 or 4 of 5 options and customize their values.

But it’s perhaps wishful thinking… is Athom ever reading these ideas in here?

Eh… no.  
Officially Athom doesn’t read along. Only when a topic is “hot” (100 likes or such) it is possible they read it.  
Just send your question to Athom support.

In the meantime, I think this is what you will like:

Yes!

> in 2021 Athom removed the link to a Google form for Feature Requests from the Welcome Post in this forum, so I asked Athom. Athom doesn’t like the old form as it was a Black hole (as we the community / users also noted) It is like the old idea box at school, you put everything in it, but almost never hear something back. Athom suggested: Discussing ideas on the forum is better. Discussing pros and cons with others can help crystallize an idea Athom definitely reads along (as we also note…

But officially just the _ **Idea & Suggestions** _ category.

Nevertheless, I would also recommend sending the request to Athom.

This is possible with the Telegram app.  
You can create your own questions and answers via the app.  
Even with multiple answers

Thanks for the reply’s. Only thing: I do not want to use telegram for this.
