OpenCX Widget

Getting Started

Embedded in HTML

<head>
  <script src="https://unpkg.com/@opencx/widget@latest/dist-embed/script.js"></script>
  <script>
    const options = {
      token: 'your-token-here',
    };
    window.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', () => {
      initOpenScript(options);
    });
  </script>
</head>

Default React Widget

Install the package:

pnpm add @opencx/widget

Render the widget:

import { Widget } from '@opencx/widget/designs';

function YourComponent() {
  return (
    <Widget
      options={{
        token: 'your-token-here',
      }}
    />
  );
}

Framework-Agnostic Headless Widget

The core package exports the widget engine that can be used with any framework:

Check the React adapter on how to attach the widget engine to a framework.
Check the default React widget on how to use the engine; collecting user data, navigating between screens, sending messages, handling loading states, etc.

Widget Options

Authentication

The widget supports a variety of ways to authenticate, or not, your users:

Completely anonymous: Leave WidgetConfig.collectUserData and WidgetConfig.user empty or explicitly undefined
Manually collect user data: Pass WidgetConfig.collectUserData as true
- Users will have to input a name and an email to enter the chat.
- A contact will be created with the inputted email. But the session will be considered unverified, since the user can input any email.
- The user will be saved in localStorage and they won't have to input a name and email on future visits.
Programmatically pass user data: Populate WidgetConfig.user.data with a name and email
- The session will still be considered unverified, because malicious users can still intercept outgoing browser requests and tamper with the user data
- If WidgetConfig.collectUserData is true and WidgetConfig.user.data.email was also passed, the email will take precedence and collectUserData will be ignored.
Secure authentication: Get a token for your user by letting your backend hit a request to api.open.cx/widget/authenticate-user (API reference) and pass the token in WidgetConfig.user.token
- The session will be verified, so your human agents can share private data with the user (in case the session was handed-over to humans)
- customData in the authentication request will be saved, since contacts have no way to tamper with them

Workspace Management

If you support multiple workspaces per user or contact, you can pass the user's workspace id in WidgetConfig.user.externalId. This way, sessions will be scoped by that external id.
