Install

We provide a Javascript SDK that you can include on your website. This SDK gives you a list of functions which let you show the widget on your website and control it's behaviour

Install the SDK

To install the SDK on your website copy and paste the snippet below before the </head> tag on every page where you want to have access to the SDK and show the widget.

<script src="https://sdk.chathive.app"></script>

Good to know: If you have a single page app make sure this script is loaded before your try to accessing the SDK

Get your API key

You can find your api key in your dashboard under the implementation tab.

Init the widget

Once you have the Chathive SDK installed then you need to tell the Widget to startup. You can do this using the code snippet below which will enable the Widget to launch whenever the page is refreshed.

Place this code in the </body> tag on every page where you want to show the widget.

<script>
    Chathive.widget.init({ apiKey: "YOUR_API_KEY" });
</script>

Good to know: If you have a single page app make sure this is executed after the SDK has been loaded
