This service listens for user messages from Sunshine Conversations and responds with a button triggering a webview. The webview acts as a multi-page form, which when submitted makes a call to the backend of this service containing the data submitted by the user. The backend then calls Sunshine Conversations to echo the selection into the conversation as a user message.
These examples are built with node.js and express.
