You have created a chatbot whose content is dynamic and entirely based on a database external to the chatbot (for example airtable).
Let’s imagine that you present to your users news classified by categories. The categories are dynamic and the news too. You want a user to be able to decide on their category of news before accessing the news that corresponds.
1st step :
Retrieve news categories
see https://aide.vizir.co/fr/articles/4150122-trigger-a-workflow-from-a-tool-third
2nd step:
Place these categories in a carousel in the “category” collection resource
see https://aide.vizir.co/fr/articles/3885130-comment-permit-aux-users-to-upload-images-into-the-chatbot
3rd step:
Retrieve the value of the selected category thanks to the click of the carousel button
TRICKY WARNING:
In the carousel you will have a “Select” button => this information alone may not let you know what the user has selected. This is why we are going to create a special payload for this button:
“Select_” dynamically followed by the name of the category, in your case therefore “{{tag.category.[].fields.name}}”
When the user clicks, you will have to extract the right part of “Select_” to retrieve the category selected by the user.
WARNING:
You are going to say to me “Why the hell not put the name of the category directly in the payload of the button without the “Select_” => because carousel payloads automatically create quick actions. If you start having quick actions with simple names, nothing will happen!!
Let’s resume. As soon as I have extracted the right part and retrieved my category, I trigger my workflow to retrieve the news with the correct category.
In Vizir, you can extract the right part with the extract right API action like this:
