Chatbot message cards

View as Markdown

Like Slack, Zoom has a chatbot card builder. We suggest using the Slack block builder  and Zoom chatbot card builder  side by side to migrate your Slack message blocks to Zoom Chat cards, but below are some core examples:

Markdown messages

Zoom supports markdown in chatbot card messages, and leverages the markdown format for @ mentions and other features.

{
  "blocks": [
    {
      "type": "section",
      "text": {
        "type": "mrkdwn",
        "text": "*This is bold*, _this is italic_, ~this is crossed out~, `this is code`, and <https://google.com|this is a link>"
      }
    }
  ]
}

{
  "content": {
    "body": [
      {
        "type": "message",
        "is_markdown_support": true,
        "text": "*This is bold*, _this is italic_, ~this is crossed out~, `this is code`, and <https://google.com|this is a link>"
      }
    ]
  }
}

Interactive messages

Interactive messages include UI elements, when clicked, trigger webhooks to your Bot endpoint URL.

{
  "blocks": [
    {
      "type": "actions",
      "elements": [
        {
          "type": "button",
          "text": {
            "type": "plain_text",
            "text": "Click Me",
            "emoji": true
          },
          "value": "click_me_123",
          "action_id": "actionId-0"
        }
      ]
    }
  ]
}

Slack button click webhook example.

{
  "content": {
    "body": [
      {
        "type": "actions",
        "items": [
          {
            "text": "Click Me",
            "value": "click_me_123",
            "style": "Default"
          }
        ]
      }
    ]
  }
}

Rich messages

Rich messages are other ways to style text.

{
  "blocks": [
    {
      "type": "rich_text",
      "elements": [
        {
          "type": "rich_text_section",
          "elements": [
            {
              "type": "text",
              "text": "Hello there, I am a basic rich text block!"
            }
          ]
        }
      ]
    },
    {
      "type": "rich_text",
      "elements": [
        {
          "type": "rich_text_section",
          "elements": [
            {
              "type": "text",
              "text": "Hello there, "
            },
            {
              "type": "text",
              "text": "I am a bold rich text block!",
              "style": {
                "bold": true
              }
            }
          ]
        }
      ]
    },
    {
      "type": "rich_text",
      "elements": [
        {
          "type": "rich_text_section",
          "elements": [
            {
              "type": "text",
              "text": "Hello there, "
            },
            {
              "type": "text",
              "text": "I am an italic rich text block!",
              "style": {
                "italic": true
              }
            }
          ]
        }
      ]
    }
  ]
}
