Prerequisites

Before you begin, ensure you have:

• Successfully deployed the open-source live chat system and completed basic configurations
• Access to edit your website's HTML code or install plugins
• Decided on the placement and trigger mechanism for the chat widget (e.g., floating button, fixed sidebar)

Quick Integration: Direct Link Method

The simplest way to add chat support is by using the pre-generated chat endpoint link:

Step 1: Obtain Your Chat Endpoint

Your dedicated live chat URL is:
[Your system-generated chatEndpoint link]
(Click the copy button in your deployment dashboard to retrieve the full URL)

Step 2: Add a Chat Link to Your Website

Embed the link in prominent locations such as:

• A "Chat Now" button in the footer
• A "Contact Support" link on product pages
• A fixed chat icon in the navigation or sidebar

Step 3: Example Implementation

To add a floating chat button, use this code snippet:

Advanced Integration: Embedded Chat Widget

For a seamless in-page experience (without page redirects), embed the chat widget directly:

Step 1: Retrieve the Embed Code

Navigate to the "Embedded Chat" section in your system configuration and copy the provided JavaScript snippet.

Step 2: Insert into Your Website

Paste the embed code just before the closing  tag of your HTML. The chat widget will automatically initialize when the page loads.

Step 3: Customize Appearance

Adjust parameters in the embed code to match your website's design, including:

• Widget size and position
• Color scheme
• Branding elements

Verification & Testing

After integration, validate the implementation:

1. Visit your website and confirm the chat widget/link is visible
2. Click the chat trigger to ensure it opens correctly
3. Test message sending and receiving using test accounts
4. Verify cross-browser and mobile compatibility

Important Considerations

• Secure your chat endpoint URL to prevent unauthorized access
• Configure business hours and set up automated responses for offline periods
• Regularly audit link validity, especially after server migrations

By following these steps, your website will feature a fully functional live chat system, providing visitors with instant access to support. For advanced customization (e.g., single sign-on integration or personalized greetings), refer to the complete developer documentation or contact technical support.
