## Carousel

Use the carousel template to send a message with multiple column objects that users can cycle through. In addition having buttons, you can also indicate in each column object a single [action](https://developers.line.biz/en/docs/messaging-api/actions/) to be executed when a user taps anywhere in the image, title, or text area.
