Hello Mircea,


Can we found out the reason for that? All authorized users won't see these fields in widget, as system would define them. In order to make system define authorization that was done outside the system, you can use Single Sign-on https://help.useresponse.com/knowledge-base/article/single-sign-on

Let us know the details on how do you see widget working.

Hi, Stas!

My question is related to the following scenario:

I want to embed the Support Center widget inside a web application.

There can be many situations in which the user never reaches the support portal (UseResponse) but only clicks on the widget.

It would make their lives much easier if they weren't required to type "Name" and "Email" as I already know who they are in my web app, so I'd like to have an option of setting those parameters myself when I initialize the widget.

Do you see my point? SSO doesn't help here.

This option is available at Freshdesk and LiveAgent (I know as I'm evaluating them as well).

Is there a way to initialize the widget with those parameters? Just name and email...

Thank you for clarification. We would get back to you tomorrow with the solution to make it work. How do you see ideal way to prepopulate these fields? How does it work in other systems technically, so that this method would be universal for other systems to integrate?

Thank you as well.

Here is the init script for Freshdesk. Look for "name" and "email" js variables in that string concatenation.


FreshWidget.init("", {"queryString": "&widgetType=popup&formTitle=Support+%26+Feedback&helpdesk_ticket[requester]=" + email + "&helpdesk_ticket[name]=" + name, "utf8": "✓", "widgetType": "popup", "buttonType": "text", "buttonText": "Support & Feedback", "buttonColor": "white", "buttonBg": "#FF7D00", "alignment": "4", "offset": "280px", "formHeight": "500px", "url": "https://myurl...";});


And this is for LiveAgent:

LiveAgent.setUserDetails('customer@email.com', 'First name', 'Last name');

It would be great to have something similar in UseResponse, especially because it makes a better user experience for customers.

Thanks

We have updated the system, so you can pass user email and name to Support Center using javascript code like the following example:

  1. window.onload = function () {
  2. UR.userConfig({
  3. userEmail : 'email@example.com',
  4. userName : 'Username'
  5. });
  6. };


Please let us know if it works for you.

That's what I call great support. :)
