When creating a custom card fulfillment, you can create Text Responses and Custom Payloads. The text responses are used for plain text and Markdown agent responses, and the custom payloads are used for rich responses. The custom payload format for all response types has the following basic structure:
{
"richContent": [
[
{
"type": "type-id",
...
},
{
"type": "type-id",
...
}
],
[
{
"type": "type-id",
...
},
{
"type": "type-id",
...
}
]
]
}
Note that the richContent value allows
one outer and multiple inner arrays.
Responses within an inner array are bound together in a single visual card.
When the outer array contains multiple inner arrays,
multiple cards are shown—one for each inner array.
The remaining subsections describe the various types of responses you can configure for a custom payload.

Custom Template response type
The custom template response type renders a custom element defined on the customer's website. The element is not placed inside a card and always stands on its own.
The following table describes the fields:
| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
type |
string |
Response type: "custom_template" |
name |
string |
Name of the custom element |
payload |
Object |
Payload to pass to the custom element |
For example:
{
"richContent": [
[
{
"type": "custom_template",
"name": "custom-element-example",
"payload": {
"text": "Hello World"
}
}
]
]
}
On your website, the custom element needs to be registered under the exact name
from the name field of the response. The payload field is passed to
the custom element as dfPayload after construction (but before connectedCallback). The field may contain arbitrary JSON. In addition, dfResponseId is
passed to the element.
Using the response from the example, here is an example implementation of a custom element:
class CustomElementExample extends HTMLElement {
constructor() {
super();
// The `dfPayload` field will be provided before `connectedCallback` is
// being called.
this.dfPayload = null;
// The `dfResponseId` field will be provided before `connectedCallback` is
// being called.
this.dfResponseId = null;
// It is not strictly required but recommended to contain the custom
// element in a shadow root.

Rich content from a playbook tool
You can use playbook tools to send rich content to Dialogflow CX Messenger.
Step 1: Create an addRichContent tool in your agent
Create a function tool called addRichContent with the following data:
Tool input:
properties: {}
type: object
Tool output:
properties:
status:
type: string
reason:
type: string
type: object
Step 2: Tell your agent how to use this tool
Tell your agent how to use the tool in instructions and examples.
For instance, add something like the following to your instructions:
- Greet the user
- Ask the user what their favorite color is.
At the same time run ${TOOL: addRichContent} to display buttons
for blue, red, yellow, and green.
- Thank the user
For instance, create an example like the following:
Note that the syntax for the rich content is the same you would use if you were to return a custom payload in a flow-based virtual agent.
Step 3: Define the JavaScript
In the code for the page that hosts df-messenger,
you need to create JavaScript code
that defines a function that tells df-messenger to render the rich content.
You also need to register that function with df-messenger,
so that it knows to execute the function when the virtual agent needs it.
Make sure the variable dfMessenger is declared
and points to your instance of df-messenger.
Here's some example code you can use for this purpose:
const dfMessenger = document.querySelector('df-messenger');
function addRichContent(customPayload) {
dfMessenger.renderCustomCard(customPayload.richContent);
// add error handling
return Promise.resolve({ status: "OK", reason: null });
}
// substitute your own tool id
const toolId = 'projects/PROJECT_ID/locations/LOCATION/agents/AGENT_ID/tools/TOOL_ID'
dfMessenger.registerClientSideFunction(toolId, addRichContent.name, addRichContent);
