Overview: How to show content on screen

Modified on Sun, 2 Mar at 6:41 PM

Your Digital Person can display content on screen next to them. This is a great way of adding visual aids, or to take pressure off of the verbal conversational content.


Out of the box you can use Content Cards to display on screen content. The default UI and embedded Widget support the following predefined Content Cards:

Options
Displays a list of interactive buttons. When clicked they send a message to conversation as user input.

External Link
Displays a URL on screen with an optional thumbnail, heading, and summary. When clicked the URL will be opened in a new tab.

Internal Link
Displays a URL on screen with an optional thumbnail, heading, and summary. When clicked the URL will be opened in the same tab.

Markdown
Displays HTML Markdown on screen.

Video
