Live Help Now

This is a simple, little library that allows you to add data-chat to any HTML tag, and have it open a LiveHelpNow chat window.

Installation

npm install live-help-now

Configuration and Usage

The module exports a function which expects only one argument: an object with your LiveHelpNow account details.

Most of these details can be found by creating a chat button in LHN and reading the information in the <script></script> tag that it gives you.

const accountInfo = {
  // Your account number as a string
  lhnAccountN: '...',
  // The button design number (not really relevant for the library,
  // but still required by LHN)
  lhnButtonN: 00,
  // The position for the chat window
  lhnChatPosition: 'default',
  // Whether or not to auto-invite for chat
  lhnInviteEnabled: 1,
  // The Chat Window number
  lhnWindowN: 00000,
  // The Invite Number
  lhnInviteN: 00000,
  // The Department Number
  lhnDepartmentN: 00000,
}

$(document).ready(() => {
  liveHelpNow(accountInfo)
})
