# Listening to Events

The Rep.ai widget triggers events on the global `window` object in JavaScript that can be listened for and reacted to. Some of these events will get triggered by calls to the Rep.ai JavaScript API, but they can also be triggered by visitor interaction with the widget, or by admins interacting with visitors via the Rep.ai dashboard.

## Conversion Event Tracking Example

A popular use case for the Events API is conversion tracking. the `sb:callstart` event will be fired whenever a call is accepted by a visitor, and you can listen for these events like so:

```javascript
window.addEventListener("sb:callstart", () => {

    gtag('event', 'callstart', {
      'event_category': 'chat',
      'event_label': 'sb:callstart',
    });

});
```

### Events

<table data-header-hidden><thead><tr><th>Event name</th><th>Description</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>Event name</td><td>Description</td></tr><tr><td><code>sb:initialized</code></td><td>Emits when the widget is fully initialized and ready to be interacted with. </td></tr><tr><td><code>sb:error</code></td><td>Emits if a critical error is encountered during widget initialization. The error is included in <code>event.detail</code>.</td></tr><tr><td><code>sb:expand</code></td><td>Emits on the widget going into its expanded state, either by the visitor clicking on the widget or by calling <code>RepAI.expand()</code>.</td></tr><tr><td><code>sb:collapse</code></td><td>Emits on the widget going into its collapsed state, either by the visitor clicking on the widget or by calling <code>RepAI.collapse()</code>.</td></tr><tr><td><code>sb:callaccept</code></td><td>Emits on the visitor accepting a call that was initiated either proactively or reactively.</td></tr><tr><td><code>sb:callreject</code></td><td>Emits on the visitor rejecting a call that was initiated either proactively or reactively.</td></tr><tr><td><code>sb:dialstart</code></td><td>Emits on the widget requesting assistance, either by the visitor clicking on the dial button or by calling <code>RepAI.dial()</code></td></tr><tr><td><code>sb:dialcancel</code></td><td>Emits on the dial canceling, either by the visitor clicking "Cancel" or the "X" button on the top right of the widget while dialing.</td></tr><tr><td><code>sb:dialmiss</code></td><td>Emits on the widget going into the dial missed state after a period of time elapses after dialing but nobody answered the request for help.</td></tr><tr><td><code>sb:callstart</code></td><td>Emits on an admin starting a call with a visitor.
