Omnichannel chat widget how to configure Chat Widget to display bubble after minimising

Posted on by Jas09 12
We are using v2 of the Omnichannel Chat Widget and have configured it to open upon clicking a button on our website. We’ve added the "data-hide-chat-button = true" tag to ensure the chat bubble does not display initially.
 
However, we are encountering an issue: if a user minimizes the chat panel, they cannot reopen it without clicking the custom chat button again.
 
Is there a way to:
  1. Retain the "data-hide-chat-button = true" tag so that the chat can only be initiated by clicking the custom chat button, with no chat bubble showing initially.
  2. Display the chat bubble when the user minimizes the chat panel, allowing them to easily reopen the active chat.
Thanks

    Hi, you can achieve the desired behavior by using JavaScript to manage the visibility of the chat widget when a user minimizes the chat panel. 

    You can follow below Solution:

    1. Keep data-hide-chat-button = true to ensure that the chat bubble does not appear when the page loads, as intended.
    2. Use below custom script to detect when the user minimizes the chat panel and display the chat bubble, allowing them to reopen the chat without needing to click the custom chat button again.
    window.Microsoft.Omnichannel.LiveChatWidget.SDK
        .addEventListener("ChatMinimized", function() {
            // Show the chat bubble when the user minimizes the chat panel
            var chatButton = document.querySelector('[data-hide-chat-button]');
            chatButton.style.display = 'block';
        });
    window.Microsoft.Omnichannel.LiveChatWidget.SDK
        .addEventListener("ChatMaximized", function() {
            // Hide the chat bubble when the chat panel is active
            var chatButton = document.querySelector('[data-hide-chat-button]');
            chatButton.style.display = 'none';
        });

    Hi @VaHix

    Thanks, I did look at that but can't work out how to re-enable the Chat Bubble on the event listener for minimise. Do you have an example code for reference or tried this yourself?

    Thanks

    You can modify what you want using lcw events in different status lcw:ready, lcw:minimized or lcw:expanded
