Pre Chat Form API in Live Chat

The API allows you to automatically send the chat transcript after each chat session to your application or 3rd party application integration. Simply specify the URL and other details. The transcript will be posted to the specified URL, which you can add to your customer log, etc.

Setting up Chat Transcript API

 

Field Name Description
Host The domain name for the script, for example- www.test1domain.com or test1domain.com
Script Path The path for the script /yourtestscript.php or /yourtestscript.asp etc.
Port

Default: HTTP:// connections are not secure because they exchange credentials and data in clear text, so we recommend using HTTPS.


Secure (Recommended): HTTPS:// connections are secure, encrypting both credentials and information.

 

Enter all the required values for the hostname, script path, and then select the port.

 

Step 5: Navigate and click on the ‘Check Connection’ option to verify the API connection. Then click on the ‘Save’ button to save the entered values.

 

Once you are done with the above steps the chat transcript details will be automatically sent to the desired path in JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) format.
