We’ll eventually build a page where you can view all available templates, but for now, you’ll need to contact us for the template links and checklists.
All templates also comes with a prebuilt Airtable base with sample data.

Note: If you have more than 10 matching results, you can also turn on pagination to display up to 3 galleries of results! You can find more details in the FAQ section.
4. Use wizard to generate code

If you’re using ManyChat, you’ll also need to replace any placeholders with the correct variable (e.g. custom fields)
Additional Useful Custom Fields
Feel free to use the following custom fields to build additional (optional) conditions for your bot:
cbot_rsp_no_results
True if there are no matching results
More Detail
If “true”, then there are no matching results and no gallery was sent to the user.
Recommendation: If “true”, then send users a custom message and ask if they would like to view the gallery again with different search criteria!
cbot_rsp_max_results
True if there are more matching results that cannot be displayed in the gallery

If “true”, then there more matching results available but it cannot be displayed since the user already viewed 3 galleries of matching results.
