BlockPointer

Using a BlockPointer you can route the conversation to different blocks, potentially to handle different questions or continue the next steps.

A BlockPointer points to an already existing Block using the Block Id, found in logicdialog.

Where possible this method should be used as it allows for block content to be edited easily without having to deploy changes to your code.

A block pointer is a simple object containing the ID of the block you wish to link to. In the example below, the ID of this block would be 5c62ead3ab358c3780bb60dc.

To use a BlockPointer, the pushBlockPointer function in the ResponseBuilder is used, with a BlockPointer object, containing the id of a block. This block can be a basic block, or a function block.

Adding a BlockPointer

responseBuilder.pushBlockPointer({
  id: "60db2d02d19a13bc109c5bd4"
});

For further reference on the ResponseBuilder, please see the API page.
