Launch Chat

Show the chat after start. The first call loads the widget, and later calls reopen the same conversation at once

Show the chat

iOS

Android

Flutter

React Native

KindlyWebViewSDK.displayChat()
KindlyWebViewSDK.displayChat(triggerDialogueId: "DIALOGUE_ID")
KindlyWebViewSDK.displayChat(languageCode: "nb")

The chat opens as a full-height sheet over the top view controller. People close it with the chat's minimise button or by swiping the sheet down. Before start, displayChat logs an error and does nothing

KindlyWebViewSDK.launchChat(context)
KindlyWebViewSDK.launchChat(context, triggerDialogueId = "DIALOGUE_ID")
KindlyWebViewSDK.launchChat(context, languageCode = "nb")

The chat opens on its own full-screen screen. People close it with the back button or the chat's minimise button. displayChat(context) does the same as launchChat(context) without the optional arguments

Pass an Activity as the context when you can. With any other context the SDK starts the chat screen in a new task. Before start, launchChat logs an error and does nothing

await KindlyWebViewSDK.displayChat();
await KindlyWebViewSDK.displayChat(triggerDialogueId: 'DIALOGUE_ID');
await KindlyWebViewSDK.displayChat(languageCode: 'nb');

On iOS the chat opens as a full-height sheet, and people close it with the chat's minimise button or by swiping the sheet down. On Android it opens on its own full-screen screen, and the back button or the minimise button closes it. launchChat does the same as displayChat. Before start, both fail with notStarted

await KindlyWebViewSDK.displayChat();
await KindlyWebViewSDK.displayChat({ triggerDialogueId: 'DIALOGUE_ID' });
await KindlyWebViewSDK.displayChat({ languageCode: 'nb' });

Closing the chat this way keeps the conversation, see Close Chat

Options

triggerDialogueId starts that dialogue as the chat opens, see Trigger Dialogue. A languageCode other than the live chat's renders the chat again in that language, and takes the format described in Initialization

When the device or the app cannot run the chat, it shows a notice instead of the chat, see Checking Support
