Chat Campaign Configuration Guide

Overview

A chat campaign involves contact centre agents receiving chat requests from contacts via a web channel, and engaging in a chat session.

Contacts, when requesting to chat, may be asked to supply answers to a short pre-chat survey. The survey answers provide basic information about the contact and the reason for their request.

Chat session transcripts can be viewed in Chats.

To add a new chat survey to the campaign, click the Add chat survey button in the header. Define the title and a description and click Save.

If using the multi select object in chat surveys, the values are stored as array in the campaign data field the data is mapped to. Therefore, respective data field must be greater than the sum of all the characters in all of these values available plus two characters for each value, plus three for the array.

For instance, if a customer can multiselect red, green and blue, the respective data field must allow for red (3+2), green (5+2), blue (4+2) +3 = 21 characters to avoid an error.

5. Using the Chat Request Widget

The Chat Request Widget is used to provide the ability for contacts to request a chat session from a remote web page.

Open the Workspace.
Select Configuration from the Campaigns menu.
Select the chat campaign to be viewed.
The Campaign Details are displayed for that campaign.
Click Embed Code.
Copy the generated code and paste it into your web page before the closing body tag.

The basic HTML code that you generate within the workspace will be similar to the following:

Simple Widget Code

CODE

<div id="chat_sa5bo6jt"><script type="text/javascript">
    (function() {
        var cs = document.createElement("script"); cs.type = "text/javascript"; cs.async = true;
        cs.src = "https://yourinstance.ipscape.com.au/webchat/chat-uri.js";
        var s = document.getElementsByTagName("script")[0];
        s.parentNode.insertBefore(cs, s);
        cs.onload = function(){
            Chat.init({"container":"chat_sa5bo6jt","key":"sa5BO6JTmV9tisgUmWwuVBOwyv8XAZrTzbvG1uzEjs4","src":"yourinstance.ipscape.com.au\/webchat"});
        }
    })();
</script></div>

However, if you intend to place the Chat Request Widget onto a page into which a contact might be logged in such as a web portal, it is possible to use the contact's login data to populate the pre-chat survey for the chat request.

In this example, Name and Email have been used but you can use any data that is available from your portal so long as the Pre-chat Survey in your Chat Campaign has a field in which to accept that data.

To do this, add an extra line (see line 12: userData) to your widget code into which you have added your portal's field names as follows:

Widget Code with userData

CODE

<div id="">
    <script type="text/javascript">
        (function() {
            var cs = document.createElement('script'); cs.type = 'text/javascript'; cs.async = true;
            cs.src = 'https://preprodbeta.ipscape.com.au/webchat/chat-uri.js';
            var s = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0]; s.parentNode.insertBefore(cs, s);
            cs.onload = function(){
                Chat.init({
                    'container': 'qvbpatnr',
                    'key': 'QVBPaTNrZ3RQNTBBYkQrUzhzZHQxQT09',
                    'src': 'ipscape.com.au/webchat'
                    'userData': {"name":"Add_name_field_here", "email":"add_email_field_here"}
                });
            }
        })();
    </script>
</div>

If you need to change the stack order of the Chat window you can add a 'z-index' shown below in line 13:

Widget Code with z-index

CODE

<div id="">
    <script type="text/javascript">
        (function() {
            var cs = document.createElement('script'); cs.type = 'text/javascript'; cs.async = true;
            cs.src = 'https://preprodbeta.ipscape.com.au/webchat/chat-uri.js';
            var s = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0]; s.parentNode.insertBefore(cs, s);
            cs.onload = function(){
                Chat.init({
                    'container': 'qvbpatnr',
                    'key': 'QVBPaTNrZ3RQNTBBYkQrUzhzZHQxQT09',
                    'src': 'ipscape.com.au/webchat'
                    'style':
                    { 'z-index': 10000 }
                });
            }
        })();
    </script>
</div>
