This flow will allow you to run the examples of each type of button available, so you can understand and then apply them when necessary.
Node parameters: (Only on Web)
Block Input
- When set to TRUE, 'Block Input' prevents the user from using the chat box, until one of the Buttons is selected.
One Choice
- When set to TRUE, 'One Choice' prevents the user from being able to select more than one Button.
Quick Replies
- When set to TRUE, 'Quick Reply' presents the buttons as quick suggestions.
Button types:
Next Step
- Allows dynamic flows, when a 'Next Step' button is selected, it calls the Integration associated with it.
Message
- When a 'Message' button is selected, it calls the Intention associated with it.
Text
- It's an old version of 'Message', both have the same behavior. However, it is recommended to use Message.
Link
- Used only on Web to execute URLs. (On WhatsApp the "Answer" node can be used with the URL)
JS Button
- Allows us to input the JSON of the desired buttons directly, useful for generating dynamic buttons.
Interactive List
- Works as an options box, highly customizable. (WhatsApp Only)
How to test this flow?
The examples have an 'Inject' that mocks up the data received from a normal Integration call, so the results can be seen in the Debug tab.
How to apply this?
The 'Inject' node should be replaced by a 'Step-In' node that can be found in the 'Aivo Steps' category.
To select the newly created Integration on the AgentBot platform, you must use the Integration complement with a name similar to:
'aivo-studio|||Your_Step|||ApiClient16166156516'
Important!
- When using a 'Next Step' button, the buttons' structure is changed:
- A 'Next Step' button has a "Label" -> "next_step" format;
- A 'Message/Link' button has a "Label" -> "type" -> "Value" format;
So, we cannot mix 'Next Step' buttons with buttons of other types. This does not apply to other types, for example "Message" and "Link", because they are interpreted in the same way.
