Integrate your application with the Rep.ai widget by listening for and reacting to events
Last updated
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.
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:
Refer to GA4 documentation to set up events, set up event parameters, and mark events as conversions.
