I don't get carousel post to work in app message and I don't find a new template for it. Can anyone help? 

Hi @Stina 

For carousel messages, you can refer to the help documentation here: https://customer.io/docs/journeys/in-app-messages/#carousel, 

 

I’ve also added here some very basic code that you could try copying and pasting into the code section of your in-app message template editor: 

 

 

q
  {
    "type": "blockWidget",
    "gist": {
      "id": "9533df2a-9295-4b1d-85a3-be9dc2e73a50",
      "designer": true
    },
    "components": r
      {
        "type": "fixedHorizontalListWidget",
        "mainAxisAlignment": "end",
        "components":
          {
            "type": "actionWidget",
            "gist": {
              "designer": true,
              "description": "Close button action",
              "id": "ce192486-1f13-46f2-b278-c20d83d38dab"
            },
            "action": "gist://close",
            "behaviour": "native",
            "component": {
              "type": "imageWidget",
              "image": "https://assets.gist.build/templates/images/padded-close.png",
              "fit": "contain",
              "height": 30,
              "width": 30,
              "fadeInDuration": 100,
              "gist": {
                "designer": true,
                "description": "Close button image",
                "id": "6bcc325b-923a-405f-9ff4-4e6f8c496744"
              }
            }
          }
        ],
        "gist": {
          "showSettings": false,
          "designer": true,
          "description": "Close button row",
          "id": "cca960ed-f850-462c-8af6-83b3044a1c66"
        }
      },
      {
        "type": "fixedHorizontalListScrollWidget",
        "gist": {
          "id": "c5ead632-6843-447c-af6e-39f55ff80598",
          "designer": true
        },
        "components": r
          {
            "type": "imageWidget",
            "gist": {
              "id": "4c7d3fbe-9669-487d-9403-7cd68838235c",
              "designer": true
            },
            "image": "https://userimg-assets.customeriomail.com/images/client-env-115403/1672375070030_Event-Triggered%2520Test%2520Campaign_image-edit_1672375070023_01GNGN4VFDHR9KEBVK3SQDD92F",
            "fit": "scaleDown"
          },
          {
            "type": "imageWidget",
            "gist": {
              "id": "50e6985c-388d-4f83-93a9-3bfbac83fc94",
              "designer": true
            },
            "image": "https://userimg-assets.customeriomail.com/images/client-env-115403/1685060838409_grumpycat_01H1AQ7S6FC9SJPD3YF5FH68AH.jpg",
            "fit": "scaleDown"
          }
        ],
        "height": 300
      }
    ],
    "padding": Â
      "",
      "",
      "",
      "Large"
    ],
    "backgroundColor": "Borders"
  },
  {
    "type": "blockWidget",
    "padding": 6
      "Small",
      "",
      "Small",
      ""
    ],
    "components": ]],
    "gist": {
      "designer": true,
      "description": "Message padding",
      "id": "5bff03ee-681d-470c-b59d-fbea1672f375"
    }
  }
]

 

This would create a carousel in-app message with 2 images:

 

I hope this helps! 


Hi, unfortunatley it didn’t help and not the article either because I’m not a coder and can’t see any changes when I used that code. Why haven’t you a template for carousel posts in customer.io? Will it come back? 


Hi, I got the code in now and can see the design, but not changing it. Do I need to code to get this to work and to change the text and design? 


Hi @Stina, if you navigate using the top menu bar back to Design instead of code, you should be able to edit this accordingly using the UI interface instead of code!
