The Carousel element in chatbots
This element is used to create a carousel of up to 10 cards. For example, it can be used to showcase various products. You can add an image, title, and button to every card.
This element is supported by Telegram, Facebook, and Instagram. To add cards to your WhatsApp chatbot, you need to add products to Facebook Commerce Manager in advance. Learn more: How to add product cards in WhatsApp chatbot.
You can also create cards in the API request element.
In the Message element, click + Add, and select Carousel.
By default, the Message element already includes the Text element. Add the Carousel element. Once you do this, you will be able to delete the Text element — hover over the right element side, and click the trash can icon.

| Button | Click + Add button, enter your text, and select a button type. Fill in the fields based on your button type, and click Add to save the button settings. |
