Configuring the Application from Care Console

in your android SDK.
In this guide, we provide information about how to set the widgetId
for your android SDK which will be embedded into your iOS application, and how to retrieve all the display conditions from the chat widget for your iOS SDK.
Using the widgetId
, you can configure your application to show the display conditions such as the number of available agents, business hours, and so on.

Business profile
You can customize your header appearance with the header text, logo and intro text.

Fixed Header
You can set the intro text header to fixed mode by enabling the option "Keep Business Profile fixed to the top of Modern Chat Window" in theme settings. If this option is not enabled, the header will scroll along with the screen.

Colors
The supported color customizations are as follows:
- Brand Color: Customizes the color of the messenger header and is also used for the icon colors in the attachment tray.
- Conversation Color: Customizes the color of customer messages
- Action Color: Changes the appearance of structured messages sent by the Agents, including cards, link buttons, and suggested replies.

Attachment Tray items
The attachment formats enabled on this screen will appear in the customer's attachment tray. You can enable or disable them on the "Brandmessenger > General Settings" screen.
Any changes to these settings will apply automatically.
Once you have made the changes, they will dynamically take effect the next time the customer loads the app.
Download Transcripts
Customers can now request a copy of their chat via email by enabling the "Print Transcript" option in "Modern Chat > Select widget > Settings > Customer Actions > Print Transcript." Once this option is enabled, and the widget is published, the new setting will take effect.
The "Print Transcript" option will appear in the 3-dot menu (in iOS). When the customer enters their email, the transcript will be sent to them within minutes. If the number of messages in the chat exceeds 100 or if the size of the message spans larger than 15mb, the transcript PDF will be paginated into multiple emails until the chat is completed. This is to comply with Gmail's max attachment size
Kindly note that emails will originate from [email protected]
