+# Starter Prompts
+
+Starter prompts are a special message that would send during greeting. It can consist of:
+
+-  An optional image
+-  An optional name of the bot (plain text)
+-  An optional description about the bot (Markdown)
+-  1 to 6 buttons with predefined message to assist customers to jumpstart the conversation
+   -  A title for each button (plain text, required)
+   -  The message to send or put in the send box when clicked (plain text, required)
+   -  Notes: if the Starter prompts has no prompt buttons, service should not send Starter Prompts activity. Web Chat should ignore Starter Prompts activity without any buttons
+
+## UX design choices
+
+- Buttons will show as a 3x2 grid when width of Web Chat is >= 500px. If it is <= 499px, buttons will show as a 1x3 grid with "show more"
+- If there is a "Starter Prompts" activity being sent in the conversation, the "View prompts" button will always show on lower right, just above the send box
+   - If suggested actions are shown, it will be show on top of the "View prompts" button
+- Clicking on the "View prompts" button will pop up a modal dialog to select multiple buttons
