Problems with rendering simple html in the web bot

I’d like to provide simple formatted text in my web bot. But it returns back the html code and not the fomatted text. In the emulator it works fine. I am using your standard webchat iframe inject.js code with no changes to stylesheets.

Ultimately what we are trying to achieve is to create a file uploader as part of the bot messaging. That will upload a file to our servers against the conversation id.

Also I note that your website bot immediately talks on open but we have to type something first. Where is this setting?

Hi @james ,

Okay, for the question, “Also I note that your website bot immediately talks on open, but we have to type something first. Where is this setting?”, this is a feature to be released called “Triggers”. So stay tuned :fire:

For HTML, it is not supported in the web chat, what you can use for formatting is Markdown syntax: Basic Syntax | Markdown Guide

Currently, we don’t support the upload of documents at the moment. As a workaround, you can ask the user to send you the document URL then from your server, you can download the document in your system.
