I am trying to create a chatbot using Zendesk that provides carousels/cards allowing users to select their option and then go down different paths or chatbots based on what they select. Is this possible?

    Hi Paul,

    This is something you can achieve using the Conversations APIs and structured messages. You can get more information on those here: 

    https://developer.zendesk.com/api-reference/live-chat/chat-conversations-api/conversations-api/

    https://developer.zendesk.com/documentation/live-chat/getting-started/getting-started-with-the-chat-conversations-api/

    https://support.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360022184394-Using-structured-messages-in-Zendesk-Chat

    If you are not comfortable building your own, you can look at some of the bot partners that can assist you: https://www.zendesk.co.uk/service/messaging/chatbot/

    Hope that helps,
