Message Attachments

Premium

Chat messages may contain attachments such as images, videos, or data.

Supported Attachment Types

The Chat provides built-in support for displaying:

• Images—The contentType must start with "image/". The content must be a valid URL.
• Plain-text attachments—The built-in Chat template displays any content other than images as text.

Defining Attachments

To define attachments for a message:

1. Populate the attachments field of the message.
2. Set the content and an optional contentType for each Attachment. Typically, the content type identifier for the attachment is MIME, but you can also use a string.

Display Modes

By default, message attachments are displayed as a carousel or card deck below the message. You can also display attachments in a list by setting the attachmentLayout of the message.
