Action buttons and action links in the conversation list, and more

Action buttons and action links in the conversation list

You can now use action buttons and action links inside the ConversationListHeader and ConversationListItem theme components in the Inbox UI, giving you yet more control in customizing your chat. 

For example, you could add a custom action button to your ConversationListHeader to allow users easily to create a new chat, or add a custom action link to a ConversationListItem with relevant information for each conversation in the list.

A chat window with an Inbox UI with one conversation about a job application open, and three other conversations about job applications shown in the conversation list in the inbox. Two elements have orange annotation circles around them: at the top of the inbox, the conversation list header (ConversationListHeader) with a custom action button to create a new chat, and one conversation in the conversation list with a custom action link to an application file (a ConversationListItem).
