1 year ago This is more-or-less wizard style. In other words, using a bot create a wizard. 🤣
Few things:
- You can use composition mode to build UI from ground up, without losing access to hooks provided by Web Chat
- Let's say, we translate "one activity" -> "one wizard page"
- Bots can send multiple activities in batch
- Bots can send multiple cards in a single activity
I think this is unlikely to be build as part of Web Chat because it added some requirements to the bot which would present difficulties for existing bots.
If I have spare time, I would build a sample out of this. Some of our customers did use Web Chat for QnA-style bots. This UX may fit their purpose.

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Currently, the webchat scrolls top to bottom for every conversation and this works well. But after feedback from some of our prospects, what we heard is that a left to right scroll would be better for them with one conversation shown in the screen at a time (with previous and next buttons).
Just imagine it like a slider with previous and next buttons.
I was wondering how to implement the same in webchat
Describe the suggestion or request in detail
Ability to have webchat render conversations horizontally one at a time rather than vertically with previous and next buttons (like a slider)
Think of an interface like this where every slide is an adaptive card:
Describe alternatives you have considered
I looked into this repository: https://github.com/compulim/experiment-horizontal-scroll-into-view/ but I am not clear on how we would implement this for multiple conversations. Also, the slider still shows multiple conversations in the scroll bar which I dont need.
I was also thinking of not using Botframework Webchat library and rather use the adaptive card SDK to directly render the cards and add my own logic - but this is too complicated considering I am using all the hooks which the webchat SDK provides.
