HTML & Javascript

Embed your Zapbot using HTML and JavaScript with standard, popup, or bubble display modes.

Standard

You can get the standard HTML and Javascript code by clicking on the "HTML & Javascript" button in the "Share" tab of your zapbot.

There, you can change the container dimensions. Here is a code example:

<script type="module">
  import Zapbot from 'https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@edesy/zapbot-js@0/dist/web.js'

  Zapbot.initStandard({
    zapbot: 'my-zapbot',
  })
</script>

<zapbot-standard style="width: 100%; height: 600px; "></zapbot-standard>

This code is creating a container with a 100% width (will match parent width) and 600px height.

    }[],
  ) => void;

  onScriptExecutionSuccess?: (message: string) => void;
};

Multiple bots

If you have different bots on the same page you will have to make them distinct with an additional id prop:

<script type="module">
  import Zapbot from 'https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@edesy/zapbot-js@0/dist/web.js'

  Zapbot.initStandard({
    id: 'bot1'
    zapbot: 'my-zapbot',
  })

  Zapbot.initStandard({
    id: 'bot2'
    zapbot: 'my-zapbot-2',
  })
</script>

<zapbot-standard
  id="bot1"
  style="width: 100%; height: 600px; "
></zapbot-standard>
...
<zapbot-standard
  id="bot2"
  style="width: 100%; height: 600px; "
></zapbot-standard>

You can get the popup HTML and Javascript code by clicking on the "HTML & Javascript" button in the "Share" tab of your zapbot.

Here is an example:

<script type="module">
  import Zapbot from 'https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@edesy/zapbot-js@0/dist/web.js'

  Zapbot.initPopup({
    zapbot: 'my-zapbot',
    autoShowDelay: 3000,
  })
</script>

This code will automatically trigger the popup window after 3 seconds.

type PopupProps = {
  id?: string;
  zapbot: string | any;
  isPreview?: boolean;
  resultId?: string;
  prefilledVariables?: Record<string, unknown>;
  apiHost?: string;
  wsHost?: string;
  font?:
    | string
    | {
        type: "Google";
        family?: string | undefined;
      }
    | {
        type: "Custom";
        url?: string | undefined;
        family?: string | undefined;
        css?: string | undefined;
      };
  progressBarRef?: HTMLDivElement;
  startFrom?:
    | {
        type: "group";
        groupId: string;
      }
    | {
        type: "event";
        eventId: string;
      };
  sessionId?: string;
  theme?: {
    chatWindow?: {
      backgroundColor?: string;
      maxWidth?: string;
      maxHeight?: string;
    };
    button?: {
      size?: "medium" | "large" | `${number}px`;
      backgroundColor?: string;
      iconColor?: string;
      customIconSrc?: string;
      customCloseIconSrc?: string;
    };
    previewMessage?: {
      backgroundColor?: string;
      textColor?: string;
      closeButtonBackgroundColor?: string;
      closeButtonIconColor?: string;
    };
    placement?: "left" | "right";
  };
  previewMessage?: {
    avatarUrl?: string;
    message: string;
    autoShowDelay?: number;
  };
  autoShowDelay?: number;
  onNewInputBlock?: (inputBlock: any) => void;
  onAnswer?: (answer: { message: string; blockId: string }) => void;
  onInit?: () => void;
  onEnd?: () => void;
  onNewLogs?: (
    logs: {
      status: string;
      description: string;
      details?: unknown;
    }[],
  ) => void;
  onChatStatePersisted?: (isEnabled: boolean) => void;
  onScriptExecutionSuccess?: (message: string) => void;
  autoShowDelay?: number;
  theme?: {
    width?: string;
    backgroundColor?: string;
    zIndex?: number;
  };
  defaultOpen?: boolean;
  isOpen?: boolean;
  onOpen?: () => void;
  onClose?: () => void;
};

Bubble

You can get the bubble HTML and Javascript code by clicking on the "HTML & Javascript" button in the "Share" tab of your zapbot.

Here is an example:

<script type="module">
  import Zapbot from 'https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@edesy/zapbot-js@0/dist/web.js'

  Zapbot.initBubble({
    zapbot: 'my-zapbot',
    previewMessage: {
      message: 'I have a question for you!',
      autoShowDelay: 5000,
      avatarUrl: 'https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/16015833?v=4',
    }, // Defaults to undefined
    theme: {
      button: { backgroundColor: '#0042DA', iconColor: '#FFFFFF' },
      previewMessage: { backgroundColor: '#ffffff', textColor: 'black' },
      chatWindow: { backgroundColor: '#ffffff', maxWidth: '100%' },
    },
  })
</script>

This code will show the bubble and let a preview message appear after 5 seconds.

Bubble Settings

type BubbleProps = {
  id?: string;
  zapbot: string | any;
  isPreview?: boolean;
  resultId?: string;
  prefilledVariables?: Record<string, unknown>;
  apiHost?: string;
  wsHost?: string;
  font?:
    | string
    | {
        type: "Google";
        family?: string | undefined;
      }
    | {
        type: "Custom";
        url?: string | undefined;
        family?: string | undefined;
        css?: string | undefined;
      };
  progressBarRef?: HTMLDivElement;

      closeButtonBackgroundColor?: string;
      closeButtonIconColor?: string;
    };
    placement?: "left" | "right";
  };
  previewMessage?: {
    avatarUrl?: string;
    message: string;
    autoShowDelay?: number;
  };
  autoShowDelay?: number;
  isOpen?: boolean;
  onNewInputBlock?: (inputBlock: any) => void;
  onAnswer?: (answer: { message: string; blockId: string }) => void;
  onInit?: () => void;
  onEnd?: () => void;
  onNewLogs?: (
    logs: {
      status: string;
      description: string;
      details?: unknown;
    }[],
  ) => void;
  onChatStatePersisted?: (isEnabled: boolean) => void;
  onScriptExecutionSuccess?: (message: string) => void;
  onOpen?: () => void;
  onClose?: () => void;
  onPreviewMessageClick?: () => void;
  onPreviewMessageDismissed?: () => void;
};

Custom button position

You can move the button with some custom CSS on your website. For example, you can place the bubble button higher with the following CSS:

zapbot-bubble::part(button) {
  bottom: 60px;
}

zapbot-bubble::part(bot) {
  bottom: 140px;
  height: calc(100% - 140px)
}

If you have a preview message, you'll also have to manually position it:

zapbot-bubble::part(preview-message) {
  bottom: 140px;
}

Commands

Here are the commands you can use to trigger your embedded zapbot:

  • Zapbot.open(): Open popup or bubble

  • Zapbot.close(): Close popup or bubble

  • Zapbot.toggle(): Toggle the bubble or popup open/close state,

  • Zapbot.showPreviewMessage(): Show preview message from the bubble,

  • Zapbot.hidePreviewMessage(): Hide preview message from the bubble,

  • Zapbot.setPrefilledVariables(...): Set prefilled variables. Example:

    Zapbot.setPrefilledVariables({
      Name: 'Jhon',
      Email: '[email protected]',
    })
    

    For more information, check out Additional configuration.

  • Zapbot.setInputValue(...): Set the value in the currently displayed input.

  • Zapbot.sendCommand(...): Send a command to the bot.

  • Zapbot.reload(): Reload the bot.

You can bind these commands on a button element, for example:

<button onclick="Zapbot.open()">Contact us</button>

For each command you can pass an optional id prop to target a specific zapbot. I.e. Zapbot.open({ id: 'my-bubble' })

Callbacks

If you need to trigger events on your parent website when the user interact with the bot, you can use the following callbacks:

Zapbot.initStandard({
  zapbot: 'my-zapbot',
  onNewInputBlock: (inputBlock) => {
    console.log('New input block displayed', inputBlock.id)
  },
  onAnswer: (answer) => {
    console.log('Answer received', answer.message, answer.blockId)
  },
  onInit: () => {
    console.log('Bot initialized')
  },
  onEnd: () => {
    console.log('Bot ended')
  },
})

Additional configuration

You can prefill the bot variable values in your embed code by adding the prefilledVariables option. Here is an example:

Zapbot.initStandard({
  zapbot: 'my-zapbot',
  prefilledVariables: {
    'Current URL': 'https://my-site/account',
    'User name': 'John Doe',
  },
})

It will prefill the Current URL variable with "https://my-site/account" and the User name variable with "John Doe". More info about variables: here.

Note that if your site URL contains query params (i.e. https://edesy.in/zapbot?User%20name=John%20Doe), the variables will automatically be injected to the zapbot. So you don't need to manually transfer query params to the bot embed configuration.
