Pega Web messaging - Links are not showing with placeholder
@Amit_Patel Hi Amit,
We are upgrading the chat from legacy to web messaging to one of our clients. We wanted to include web links inside the chat widget. We are able to push the links but placeholder text is not showing. Please refer the attachments.
And we need one more confirmation. The one in the Pega.com, is that chatbot built from pega's dwm or is it a different product.
We are trying to build something like above screenshot which was taken from Pega.com website. PFB for the current implementation for our client

@MariuszGrabowski We have tried <a> tag to show the link.

Hi @PRAVEENKUMARS0792 ,
There is a mechanism of handling <a> tag, with the standard format as you have provided in your example. Can you please share also platform (and CS if applicable) version that you're using?
Kind regards Mariusz

Hi @PRAVEENKUMARS0792 ,
Deafult behavior which you should observe on the 8.7 splits the paragraph on the <a> tag and send it as separate conversation element. This mechanism allows to render by some of the messaging clients a tile for such a link. Not sure though how you have got it rendered as on your screenshot, URLs and texts separately. That's why I was wondering if there is something specific in your paragraph, e.g. escaped tags or something like that.
Kind regards

Hi @grabm,
We are expecting the paragraph as per the Pega.com screenshot. We have tried all options. If we include the link in text(not paragraph) it is showing the link with complete url. We would like to hide it and show only the placeholder text.
Currently we are using text to show the links inside paragraphs. In the legacy webchat, it will render as per the paragraph rule which is not happening in web messaging.
Hope I have cleared our expectation.

Can you confirm the one in the Pega.com, is that chatbot built from pega's dwm or is it a different product. We want to display a placeholder similar to the pega.com

Hello @AKRAMKHANM , @Mayurk33 , @PRAVEENKUMARS0792, is this response type similar what you are trying to configure?
If yes, you can enter a link label in a text response type using brackets, e.g. "Here's a link with [placeholder text](https://www.pega.com)". Please let us know if this does not fully address?
Kind regards,

Hi @MireilleDallaire Can you share the format of giving the placeholder text and how to define the link which need to be opened when the placeholder text is clicked.
Thanks
