Blockquote Color Vertical Bar - Help

[rhunter-fragomen]

Can someone please teach me how to change the color of the vertical bar in block quote in Webex chat?

It's not officially supported so it's not documented anywhere and for that reason it's possible it could stop working at any time and without notice, but it can be done with the HTML blockquote tag.
For example:

"markdown": "<blockquote class="warning">Some text</blockquote>"

 The color can be changed by defining a different class.

 allowed values (googled it): danger, warning, info, primary, secondary

... but "primary" and "secondary" don't work. Anyone know the other allowed values?

[Francisco Zicre]

It used to work, but in the latest update the white is no longer available.

These are working on the latest version of Webex: warning(yellow),danger(red),info(blue),success(green).

Secondary and Primary are all "grey" now.

I might be daft but this does not work for me. Are you using that line exactly as you typed it in your response?

To me it results in this.

[Jeff Marshall]

It will only work when posting messages via the /messages API and using the "markdown" field.

[Roger Kallberg]

Aha, got it. Thanks.

Nope, he was using the API for creating messages: https://developer.webex.com/docs/api/v1/messages/create-a-message

That endpoint accepts a markdown parameter.

You may also try it from that page and just paste

<blockquote class="warning">Some text</blockquote>

into the markdown field

Amazing. Thank you!!!!!

The bot may use any secret API for that, as there is no official documentation available AFAIK.

Maybe @Jeff Marshall or @Raffaele Lagana can enlighten us (I'm also interested in the solution)?

[Francisco Zicre]

In my DevBot helper Bot there are a bunch of examples on how to achieve that.

The bot can answer with an HTML file posted as a message like this one:

You can chat with the bot at helpdevbot@webex.bot on Webex to see how it works.

I don't believe this is an attribute you can change.  The example you gave is from a bot so this was probably programmed into the bot.
