How do I use the Banner directive?
Prerequisites
To render the banner effectively, you should switch to chatbot version - v2 in Bot view template node.
Banner
The banner directive enables an expandable ribbon on the top of the chatbot screen. You can customize the content of the banner based on your business use case.
You can add the banner directive code (sample given below) to the Project side menu > Develop > Chatbot settings > Settings tab.
Sample banner directive code
"directive": [
{
"type": "dialog",
"title": "<h4>If this is an emergency, please call 911.</h4>",
"content": "Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s...",
"position": "top",
"duration": "36000000000"
}
]Place the above code into the appSettings property as shown in the screenshot below.
