This was presented as a Theater Session at Dreamforce 2019 - https://success.salesforce.com/sessions?eventId=a1Q3A000021ea1UUAQ#/session/a2q3A000002BJOwQAO

🛠️ How is this built

The bot is built using Einstein Bots (Salesforce). It uses the Yelp GraphQL API to find restaurants given a city, cuisine and price range.

What makes it unique is the usage of base Lightning Web Component namely - lightningsnapin-base-chat-message to render an Image Carousel of the top 5 results.

✔️Pre-requisites

1. Sign-up for Yelp and generate an API Key (https://www.yelp.com/developers/graphql/guides/intro).
2. Paste the API Key in the Custom Metadata - Yelp Configuration.API Key as shown below:

Note: You will need to setup Force.com Site, LiveAgent and Embedded Service Deployments manually.

📝 Takeway

This demonstrates the capability of Einstein Bots that let's us to customize the rendered message using LWC.
