Getting Started

You can now design Apple Business Chat bots! To best represent your brand, go to Settings to add your brand assets to the chatbot. You can choose to add a square logo for the business page in the entry animation, and a wide logo for the header. You can also control other settings like the header color, showing a verified icon, changing the color of the system icons for optimal contrast, and more.

Custom CSS & Custom border button

Custom CSS allows you to customize anything in your generic channel, by writing special CSS code and inputting it in Botsociety. You can now create a mockup of your mobile app or website that looks exactly like you designed in Figma or Sketch. It is a very powerful feature. You will need to know a little bit of CSS coding in order to use it correctly. You can check out our documentation here. If you can’t code in CSS don’t worry — you can always ask in our forum and the team will help you out.

Custom button border is exactly how it sounds: You can pick an arbitrary color and apply it to the border of your buttons. To get started, open the menu ‘Settings’ on top while designing for your own mobile app or website.
