Dynamic content

Within the Flowbot you can add 'Dynamic content', for example to show content based on a search query, but the Flowbot is a canvas of your imagination!

Dynamic content is limited to 10 content type objects per request (subsequent objects are ignored), structure example:

{
    "contents": [
        {
            "type": "image" | "video" | "file",
            "image": {
                "url": "https://example.com/hexagon.jpg" | "https://example.com/video.mp4" | "https://example.com/file.pdf",
                "caption": "This is an (optional) caption"
            }
        },
        {
            "type": "delay",
            "delay": {
                "delay_in_seconds": 1,
                "send_typing": true
            }
        },
        {
            "type": "text",
            "text": "This is a message via dynamic content!"
        }
    ]
}

Which could for example enable you to do something like this:

Where the API endpoint could return:

{
    "contents": [
        {
            "type": "image",
            "image": {
                "url": "https://teapotwebshop.com/teapots/lime.jpg",
                "caption": "1 Our lime teapot"
            }
        },
        {
            "type": "image",
            "image": {
                "url": "https://teapotwebshop.com/teapots/modern.png",
                "caption": "2 Our modern teapot"
            }
        },
        {
            "type": "image",
            "image": {
                "url": "https://teapotwebshop.com/teapots/blue.jpg",
                "caption": "3 Our blue teapot"
            }
        },
        {
            "type": "text",
            "text": "Choose to place an order with it's number if you found something you like"
        }
    ]
}
