Rich Notification Actions/Buttons
Since Android 4.1, Android has enabled rich notifications with actions and these notifications have since then become the standard. While Textra does currently support rich notifications, it needs to add actions to its notifications to stay current. Useful actions for these would be Mark as Read or Snooze, since clicking on the notification itself opens up the conversation to reply. However, a Reply action button which opened up a quick compose window could also be very helpful.
I think that as one of the most notification heavy apps anyone will have on their phone, it is essential that a messaging app like Textra is up to date with the most recent and advanced notification management available in Android.
Fully configurable notification buttons added in v3.44 out now.

@Prasant Ghantasala just swipe the notification away. That marks it as read.

Disappointed that this has not been implemented in any way after nearly two years and 3 Android generations later. Would really like to have the ability to have rich notification actions such as Reply, Snooze, and Delete, and ideally with the ability to customize the actions with other options like Call.

A mark as read button needs to be there at a minimum. It's already present on the Android Wear notification, there's no reason it shouldn't be there on the actual notification.

The only one thing I need to be added to Textra to make it perfect for me. I love deleting telemarketing SMS as soon as the notification arrives. I had EvolveSMS until now and it had this feature. I greatly need it in this. Also even though the app theme is dark, the notification should have the default white theme. It'll look better.

We've gotta get this voted up higher... Easily the most useful feature to add vs. everything else with more votes...
Notification actions for Mark As Read and Call -

Couldn't agree more. I wish there would be a setting to open Quick Reply popup when you click the notification and open full Textra from an action button or vice-versa (full Textra from notification and an action button for Quick Reply)--and the user has an option which one does what--and a Mark as Read button, while swiping it away leaves the message unread in Textra.

+1 for this. Rich Notifications would be such a welcomed addition to the app.

If "snooze" is too complicated to involve, just add an option for "custom interval". Present 2 min is too short and annoying.

I wholeheartedly agree with this! Textra *needs* this. I'd be extremely happy to have a "quick reply", "mark as read", and possibly "snooze" button, while clicking the actual notification opens the full view of the conversation. PLEASE add this!

the only great feature missing. waiting for it

This has become an essential aspect of notifications in Android. It is really disappointing that after so long, this has not been implemented in Textra. Three buttons with options like Mark as Read, Delete, Call, Quick Reply, and Archive would be extremely useful and bring Textra on par with many other messaging apps.

Textra (pre-Material) had this option. I miss this the most.

Yeah, pulling down on the notification entry should expand the message and give options to Mark as Read or Quick Reply / Open in App (whichever is not the default action for tapping on the message itself).
