SDK Web

Introduction

This documentation provides details on how to use the Chatbot Web SDK. The Chatbot Web SDK allows you to integrate a chatbot into your website.

To integrate the Chatbot Web SDK into your website, you need to inject the following script:

example.js

<script
   src="https://widget.yourgpt.ai/script.js"
   id="yourgpt-chatbot"
   data-widget="<YOUR_WIDGET_ID>">
</script>

Replace YOUR_WIDGET_ID with your actual widget ID. You can find your widget ID in the Chatbot Dashboard.

Note

📝 Make sure to load this script before accessing the $yourgptChatbot variable for calling functions. The $yourgptChatbot variable is only available after the script is loaded.

$yourgptChatbot

After the Chatbot Web SDK script is loaded, the $yourgptChatbot variable becomes available. This variable provides methods to interact with the chatbot.

Execution Commands

These are the commands that can be executed using the $yourgptChatbot.execute() function.

Command	Description
widget:open	Opens the chatbot.
widget:close	Closes the chatbot.
message:send	Sends a message to the chatbot.

message:send payload

Property	Description	Type	Default
text	The message text.	string
send	Indicates whether the message should be sent to the chatbot or not.	boolean	false

Opening the chatbot

example.js

$yourgptChatbot.execute("widget:open");

Sending a message to the chatbot

example.js

$yourgptChatbot.execute("message:send", { text: "Hello", send: true });

Here the text is the message that you want to send to the chatbot. The send parameter is a boolean value that indicates whether the message should be sent to the chatbot or not. If the send parameter is set to false, the message will be displayed in the chatbot but will not be sent to the chatbot.

Note

📝 This command will open the chatbot if it is not already open.

Closing the chatbot

example.js

$yourgptChatbot.execute("widget:close");

Event Listeners

The Chatbot Web SDK provides event listeners that you can use to listen to events that occur in the chatbot. To add an event listener, you need to call the $yourgptChatbot.on(event,callback) function.

Event Name	Description	Arguments
init	Triggered when the chatbot is initialized.
widget:popup	Triggered when the chatbot popup opens or closes. It provides a boolean in the callback indicating the state (true for open, false for closed).	state:boolean

Example: Listen to the init event

example.js

$yourgptChatbot.on("init", function() {
    console.log("Chatbot initialized");
});

Removing an event listener

To remove an event listener, you need to call the $yourgptChatbot.off(event,callback) function.

Set Command

Configuring Data for Iframe Embeds

If you are using the Chatbot Web SDK with an iframe embed, you can set the visitor, session, and contact data by passing the data in the query parameters of the iframe URL.

Visitor Data

To set visitor data, append the VISITOR_DATA.keyName=value query parameter to your iframe URL.

example.html

<iframe src="<widgetUrl>?VISITOR_DATA.customKey=value"></iframe>

Session Data

To set session data, append the SESSION_DATA.keyName=value query parameter to your iframe URL.

example.html

<iframe src="<widgetUrl>?SESSION_DATA.customKey=value"></iframe>

Contact Data

To set contact data, append the CONTACT.keyName=value query parameter to your iframe URL.

example.html

<iframe src="<widgetUrl>?CONTACT.email=andrew998@hi.com"></iframe>

Note

📝 Here <widgetUrl> is the URL of your chatbot widget.

Note

📝 You can pass multiple query parameters by separating them with an & .

example.html

<iframe src="<widgetUrl>?VISITOR_DATA.customKey=value&SESSION_DATA.customKey=value&CONTACT.email=johnydreq@hi.com"></iframe>
