    Can you share your code here? so that I can figure out what exactly you are trying to implement. As per my understanding so far, you want to send the to D365 Leads.

    This can be achieved by calling this function "purechatApi.on('chat:start', function (args) {" inside the code snippet you got from PureChat.

    You can store the lead details in a local object and then call the D365 API to push the data:

    purechatApi.on('chat:start', function (args) {

    console.log('Visitor started a new chat!');

    console.log(args.chatboxId) // Prints the ID of the chatbox to the console window

    console.log(args.name) // Prints the name of the visitor that started the chat

    console.log(args.email) // Prints the email of the visitor that started the chat

    console.log(args.phoneNumber) // Prints the email address of the visitor that started the chat
    console.log(args.question) // Prints the question the visitor entered when he / she started the chat

    // Replace the endpointUrl with the URL of your CRM instance
    var endpointUrl = "">yourCRMinstance.crm.dynamics.com";

    // Replace the accessToken with a valid access token
    var accessToken = "yourAccessToken";

    //Call your method that connects to the dynamics 365
    fetch(endpointUrl + '/api/data/v9.1/leads', {
    method: 'POST',
    headers: {
    'Content-Type': 'application/json',
    'Authorization': 'Bearer ' + accessToken
    },
    body: JSON.stringify({
    "firstname": args.name,
    "email": args.email
    })
    })
    .then(response => response.json())
    .then(data => {
    console.log("Lead created with ID: " + data.id);
    })
    .catch(error => {
    console.error('Error:', error);
    });

    });

    Please make sure to generate the valid access token based on the client id and secret.

    Correct. This function triggers when someone starts the chat on your site: purechatApi.on('chat:start', function (args) {

    You can place your D365 connection code here to send the data to Lead/contact

    I actually need when people contact on purechat via our website . people detail comes to D365 and create either lead entry or contact entry .

    Hi,

    You have to add the code where you are creating the object of purechatApi I mean where you have placed the code snippet from PureChat.

    I believe it is placed just before your closing body tag. You need to add the above code for user info here in the same snippet.

    Hello,

    I believe you can utilize this API for getting the data from PureChat to create a lead :

    <script>

    // Chat start

    purechatApi.on('chat:start', function (args) {

        console.log('Visitor started a new chat!');

        console.log(args.chatboxId) // Prints the ID of the chatbox to the console window

        console.log(args.name) // Prints the name of the visitor that started the chat

        console.log(args.email) // Prints the email of the visitor that started the chat

        console.log(args.phoneNumber) // Prints the email address of the visitor that started the chat

        console.log(args.question) // Prints the question the visitor entered when he / she started the chat

    });

    </script>

    purechat.com/.../javascript-api
