Watson Assistant - Carousel

With Blahbox, it's possible to send a carousel to the virtual assistant's user using IBM's Watson Assistant.

To make Blahbox display a carousel, the JSON code below must be pasted in the "context" of the appropriate dialog node, in Watson Assistant.

1.       "bbox_carousel": {
   

           "items": [
   

             {
   

               "title": "item title 1",
   

               "imageUri": "https://www.hogarmania.com/archivos/201204/estrenimiento-gato-bebe2-xl-668x400x80xX.jpg",
   

               "textToSend": "I want item 1",
   

               "description": "item description 1"
   

             },
   

             {
   

               "title": "item title 2",
   

               "imageUri": "https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/thumb/msid-67586673,width-800,height-600,resizemode-4/67586673.jpg",
   

               "textToSend": "I want item 2",
   

               "description": "item descritcion 2"
   

             },
   

             {
   

               "title": "item title 3",
   

               "imageUri": "https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/thumb/msid-70143101,imgsize-1269404,width-800,height-600,resizemode-4/70143101.jpg",
