Is it possible to write if message.text in the TG bot decorator function?

Question

Python

@my_bot.message_handler(commands = ['rate'])
def messages(message):
        Можно ли тут писать if message.text == '':?

Answer 1

yes, but it will not work because you have a trigger for the rate command, you can either remove everything from @bot.message_handler()
or
@bot.message_handler(content_type=['text'])
brackets in this case, the trigger will work on all messages from the user
