How do I integrate AWS Lex V2 chatbot to my website?

To integrate an Amazon Lex V2 chatbot into your website, you have a few options:

1. Use AWS SDKs: You can use AWS SDKs for Java or JavaScript to create and integrate a Lex chatbot within your web application. This method allows you to programmatically interact with the Amazon Lex API to build and manage your chatbot.

2. Web UI: Amazon Lex provides a web user interface that you can embed directly into your website. This allows visitors to interact with your chatbot without leaving your site.

3. API Integration: If you prefer more control, you can use the Amazon Lex API directly to send user inputs to your bot and receive responses.

To get started:

1. Create your Lex V2 bot using the Amazon Lex console or one of the other methods (like the Descriptive Bot Builder or bot templates).

2. Once your bot is created and tested, you'll need to obtain the necessary credentials and configuration details from your AWS account.

3. Implement the chosen integration method in your website's code. This might involve adding JavaScript to your site that communicates with Lex, or server-side code that handles the API calls.

4. Test the integration thoroughly to ensure smooth communication between your website and the Lex chatbot.

5. Consider implementing additional features like sentiment analysis with Amazon Comprehend or language translation with Amazon Translate to enhance the chatbot's capabilities.

Remember to handle user authentication and data privacy appropriately when integrating the chatbot into your website. Also, ensure that your website has the necessary permissions to interact with your Lex bot through IAM roles and policies.

I have a business requirement to include hyperlinks to help pages and documents in the responses to the chat bot (Lex v2). My bot is working fine for plain text and I have set the "AllowSuperDangerousHTMLInMessage": true, parameter but it will not produce a link using html or markdown syntax. My test string is "initialText": "You can ask me for help booking trips. Just type "Book a trip" or click on the mic and say it. See our <a href='./privacy.html'>privacy policy</a>", What do I need to change to get the HTML to render?
