Dynamic data
Dynamically renders a list of options from an API response.
For use cases that require the list of options to be fetched from an API call (meaning the list is unique to each visitor), you would use the Dynamic data action block.
Using this block, you can dynamically display list items for,
Button
Carousel
Option (WhatsApp and SMS)
List (WhatsApp)
Reply button (WhatsApp)
Step 1: Store the response in a variable
The API response containing the list items needs to be stored in a variable. You can do this using the HTTP request action block.

Step 2: Setup the Dynamic data action block
Add the 'Dynamic data' action block after the HTTP request action block and configure the details.
Data variable
Contains the entire payload response received from the API. In our example, it is the response
variable.
Action block to generate
Choose the action block that you would like to generate. Dynamic data supports the following action blocks,
Button
Carousel
Option (WhatsApp and SMS)
List (WhatsApp)
Reply button (WhatsApp)
Question
Configure the block for the question i.e. what question is to be shown while displaying the list items.
Configuring list items
Depending on which action block you have chosen, you would then map the object paths of the data you want to shown for that action block.
For example, if the payload response stored is the following,
And if we want to render the product_id from this list as button, we would configure the object path as follows:
result[*].product_id
Where [*] denotes that we need to display all occurances of the field product_id.
