Configuring Genesys Widgets
Genesys Widgets supports multiple widgets including Webchat. You can configure all widgets and services in the same configuration object. When you add new Genesys products and services, you must update your Genesys Widgets configuration to enable those widgets.
After you deploy the Genesys Widgets on your website, configure the CX Widget by defining the global window._genesys Javascript object.
To include the JavaScript script, you can choose one of the following options:
- Place the script inline on your website; or
- Place it in a separate JavaScript file, and then include the file on your page.
The following example is a basic view of the global Genesys Widgets configuration object:
<script>
if(!window._genesys)window._genesys = {};
if(!window._gt)window._gt = [];
window._genesys.widgets = {
main: {},
webchat: {},
};
</script>
// include widgets.min.js after defining your configuration options
The following example is a populated Widget configuration that includes configuration options for Webchat:
<script>
if(!window._genesys)window._genesys = {};
if(!window._gt)window._gt = [];
window._genesys.widgets = {
main: {
theme: "dark",
lang: "en",
i18n: "http://HOST:PORT/path/to/languages/file.json",
customStylesheetID: "<ANY_ID_NAME>",
mobileMode: 'auto',
mobileModeBreakpoint: 600
},
webchat: {
apikey: "0123456789", // Used for Apigee service only
dataURL: "http://HOST:PORT/path/to/chat/service",
userData: {},
proactive: {
enabled: true,
idleTimer: 5,
cancelTimer: 30
},
chatButton: {
enabled: true,
template: false,
openDelay: 1000,
effectDuration: 300,
hideDuringInvite: true
}
},
};
(function(o){
var f = function(){
var d = o.location;
o.aTags = o.aTags || [];
for(var i=0;i<o.aTags.length;i++){
var oTag = o.aTags[i];
var fs = d.getElementsByTagName(oTag.type)[0], e;
if(d.getElementById(oTag.id)) return; e = d.createElement(oTag.type); e.id = oTag.id;
if(oTag.type == "script"){e.src = oTag.path;}
else{e.type = 'text/css';e.rel = 'stylesheet';e.href = oTag.path;}
if(fs){fs.parentNode.insertBefore(e, fs);}else{d.head.appendChild(e);}
}},ol = window.onload;
if(o.onload){typeof window.onload != "function"?window.onload=f:window.onload=function(){ol();f();}}else f();
})({location: document,
onload: false,
aTags: [{type:"script", id:"genesys-cx-widget-script", path:"http://www.yourhost.com/path/to/widgets.min.js"},
{type:"link", id:"genesys-cx-widget-styles", path:"http://www.yourhost.com/path/to/widgets.min.css"}]});
</script>Main Configuration
Genesys Widgets is a hub for multiple Genesys products and services. Some configuration options are set globally and therefore apply to all products and services running on the CX Widget platform. In the main application configuration you can configure options such as visual theme, language, and mobile support.
For detailed information on configuration options, see App Configuration Options.
Widget Configuration Options
For a complete list of Widget configuration options, please see Genesys Widgets Reference.
Launcher
Launcher is a sample page which shows how Genesys Widgets are displayed on any host website. With it, you can:
- View Genesys Widgets with your own configuration.
- Copy the Configuration Script; for example, using the details you entered on the form, configuration script is generated in the Need Configuration Script section. You can copy this script and use it in your website to launch Widgets.
