Multiple Avatars

You can decide to change the host avatar dynamically so that your bot can display multiple avatars. This is useful for scenarios where different characters or personas guide the user through different parts of the conversation.

Setting Up Dynamic Avatars

Step 1: Configure Theme Settings

Head over to the "Theme" tab and set the host avatar to a variable URL:

Step 2: Set the Variable in Your Flow

Then you can set this variable to any URL in your flow so that the host avatar changes dynamically.
