How to add Live Chat callbacks

Let's say you want to track a conversion when a new chat has been started on a specific page, the best way to do it is with callbacks.

These are the callbacks you can use as you need. 

Please check first the tutorial to understand how the Live Chat Javascript integration works.

When you have correctly integrated the live chat as described in the tutorial, you can add callbacks as described below.

customerly.onChatClosed = function() { … }

This is an example where we added the onChatClosed callback. 

Let's get deep in the knowledge of each callback.

customerly.onLeadGenerated = function(email) { … }

onChatOpened

customerly.onChatOpened = function() { … }

onChatClosed
