Article Summary

Invitation

Display

Event

Comm100 Live Chat API provides event when invitation shows:

Comm100API.on('livechat.invitation.display', function (invitation) { });

Here, invitation is an object containing useful info about current invitation:

const invitation = {
  id: 'xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx',          // string, invitation id
  campaignId: 'xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx',  // string, campaign id of this invitation
  message: '',    // string, invitation text
  isManual: true, // boolean, whether current invitation is manual invitation
  agent: {        // agent will be provided if it is manual invitation
    id: 'xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx',        // string, agent id
    name: '',     // string, name of agent
    avatar: '',   // string, url of avatar image of this agent
    title: '',    // string, title of agent
    bio: '',      // string, bio of agent
  },
};

Replace

Instead of using default invitation message, you could also use API to replace it with your own version:

Comm100API.render('livechat.invitation.message', function () {
  const component = document.createElement('div');
  component.innerText = 'How may I help you?';
  return component;
});

To replace it with your own version, you need to return an HTMLElement. If falsy
value is returned, default invitation will be used and skip replacement process. This for auto invitation.
