Overview
There are several types of supported components, each with its own specific UI & interaction model. Common to all component definitions is the field component_type
which, as its name suggests, identifies the type of the component.
Let’s explore available component types below.
Labeled box
A simple row item with two values: title
and content
:

Web URL
An item that opens a given URL in a web view. Visually, it's the same as the List item.

If a Custom screen contains a single WebUrl Component: When the custom screen opens, the apps will not render the single WebUrl Component but instead directly open the WebView & load the associated
url
