Does anyone know how I can configure the AI chatbot so it shows RTL text aligned to the right side of the screen? Support suggested the following instruction, but it did not work:

format the text using right-to-left (RTL) direction.
To ensure proper rendering, prepend each response with the Unicode right-to-left mark character \u200F.

Hi ​@Chazz,

 

Welcome to the Community.

To configure your AI chatbot for right-to-left (RTL) text display, apply CSS styling to set text direction and alignment. If necessary, prepend the Unicode RTL mark (\u200F) to responses. Some chatbot platforms offer built-in RTL settings, so check their documentation for relevant options. After making adjustments, test the chatbot across different environments to ensure proper formatting. If issues persist, contacting Zapier support with detailed setup information can provide further assistance.

I was referring to the Zapier chatbot, I don’t see an option to add CSS styling, and prepending with \u200F did not seem to work.

Hi ​@Chazz,

 

You're right — the Zapier Chatbot doesn’t currently support custom CSS, and tricks like \u200F won’t have any effect. Styling options are pretty limited for now, but I’d recommend submitting a feature request to our Zapier support team to add these feature on the future. Happy to help think through workarounds if you’re going for a specific look.

Thanks. Not sure there is a workaround to this. Just trying to get the text to appear correctly aligned in RTL languages.
