# How To Store Hidden Values With Buttons And Use Them For Bots - Button Payloads ?

Taking an example of task management system to understand the use of button payloads:

1. Create a Google Sheet to track tasks. Include columns for Task ID, Employee Contact Number, Task Description, and Status which can be taken from a bot.
2. Assign custom row numbers as Task IDs for each new task.
3. Send a button template message to the employee's contact number. The message should include the Task Description and a "Done" button for them to report task completion.
4. When an employee clicks the "Done" button, trigger a new flow in your application. This flow should capture the payload, which contains the Task ID.
5. Use Google Sheets to search for the Task ID in your sheet and update the Task Status to "Done".

Implementing these steps will allow for efficient task management and status tracking using Google Sheets.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://helpdocumentation.gitbook.io/user/bot-builder/whatsapp-chatbot/how-to-store-hidden-values-with-buttons-and-use-them-for-bots-button-payloads.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
