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:

html

预览

<a href="[Your chatEndpoint link]" target="_blank" style="position:fixed;bottom:30px;right:30px;background:#007bff;color:white;padding:10px 15px;border-radius:50px;text-decoration:none;">
  Live Chat
</a>

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 </body> 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:

Visit your website and confirm the chat widget/link is visible
Click the chat trigger to ensure it opens correctly
Test message sending and receiving using test accounts
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.
