Usage

Script Tag

Add the following code towards the end of the <head> section on your page and replace <integration-id> with your integration id at the end of the script. You may replace "5" with any version from 4.0.0 onwards, or with a major version (i.e.: "4" or "5") to load that specific version of the Web SDK. If a version is included without specifying the patch, the latest version of the specified major release will be loaded. If an invalid version is passed an error will be thrown and the Web SDK will fail to load.

<script>
    !function(o,d,s,e,f){var i,a,p,c=[],h=[];function t(){var t="You must provide a supported major version.";try{if(!f)throw new Error(t);var e,n="https://cdn.smooch.io/",r="smooch";e="string"==typeof this.response?JSON.parse(this.response):this.response;var o=f.match(/([0-9]+)\.?([0-9]+)?\.?([0-9]+)?/),s=o&&o[1],i=o&&o[2],a=o&&o[3],p=e["v"+s],c=e["v"+s+"."+i+".patch"];if(e.url||p||c){var h=d.getElementsByTagName("script")[0],u=d.createElement("script");if(u.async=!0,a)u.src=c||n+r+"."+f+".min.js";else{if(!(5<=s&&p))throw new Error(t);u.src=p}h.parentNode.insertBefore(u,h)}}catch(e){e.message===t&&console.error(e)}}o[s]={init:function(){i=arguments;var t={then:function(e){return h.push({type:"t",next:e}),t},catch:function(e){return h.push({type:"c",next:e}),t}};return t},on:function(){c.push(arguments)},render:function(){a=arguments},destroy:function(){p=arguments}},o.__onWebMessengerHostReady__=function(e){if(delete o.__onWebMessengerHostReady__,o[s]=e,i)for(var t=e.init.apply(e,i),n=0;n<h.length;n++){var r=h[n];t="t"===r.type?t.then(r.next):t.catch(r.next)}a&&e.render.apply(e,a),p&&e.destroy.apply(e,p);for(n=0;n<c.length;n++)e.on.apply(e,c[n])};var n=new XMLHttpRequest;n.addEventListener("load",t),n.open("GET","https://"+e+".webloader.smooch.io/",!0),n.responseType="json",n.send()}(window,document,"Smooch","<integration-id>","5");
</script>

then initialize the Web Messenger by placing this snippet towards the end of the body section of your page.

<script>
    Smooch.init({ integrationId: '<integration-id>' }).then(function () {
        // Your code after init is complete
    });
</script>
