Configuring Genesys Widgets
Genesys Widgets supports multiple widgets including Webchat, Web Engagement, and Co-browse. You can configure all widgets and services in the same configuration object. When you add new Genesys products and services, you must update your Genesys Widgets configuration to enable those widgets.
After you deploy the Genesys Widgets on your website, configure the CX Widget by defining the global window._genesys Javascript object.
To include the JavaScript script, you can choose one of the following options:
- Place the script inline on your website; or
- Place it in a separate JavaScript file, and then include the file on your page.
The following example is a basic view of the global Genesys Widgets configuration object:
<script>
if(!window._genesys)window._genesys = {};
if(!window._gt)window._gt = [];
window._genesys.widgets = {
main: {},
webchat: {},
cobrowse: {},
gwe:{}
};
</script>
The following example is a populated Widget configuration that includes configuration options for Webchat, Web Engagement (GWE), and Co-browse (GCB):
<script>
if(!window._genesys)window._genesys = {};
if(!window._gt)window._gt = [];
window._genesys.widgets = {
main: {

var fs = d.getElementsByTagName(oTag.type)[0], e;

</script>Main Configuration
Genesys Widgets is a hub for multiple Genesys products and services. Some configuration options are set globally and therefore apply to all products and services running on the CX Widget platform. In the main application configuration you can configure options such as visual theme, language, and mobile support.
For detailed information on configuration options, see App Configuration Options.
Widget Configuration Options
- WebChat Configuration
- WebChatService Configuration
- SendMessage Configuration
- SendMessageService Configuration
- CoBrowse Configuration
- GWE Configuration
- Channel Selector Configuration
For a complete list of Widget configuration options, please see Genesys Widgets Reference.
Blocking Pages from Agent View
Having the co-browse instrumentation removed from certain pages allows customers to block those pages from the agent view completely. In order to block certain pages, use one of the following methods:
Method 1: Do not configure co-browse on that page. CX Widgets only initializes and injects co-browse instrumentation when co-browse configuration is set.
Method 2: Override loaded plugins using configuration:
Examples
Normal pages
_genesys.widgets.main.plugins = ["cx-webchat", "cx-webchat-service","cx-cobrowse"]
Bypass Cobrowse
_genesys.widgets.main.plugins = ["cx-webchat", "cx-webchat-service"]
Can I modify the Chat Registration Form?
The Chat Registration Form does not currently support modifications. To implement a custom chat registration, you must create your own form, and then use the Widget Bus API to launch the Widget with your custom user data, thus bypassing the default Chat Registration Form.
Launcher
Launcher is a sample page which shows how widgets display on any host website.
Using a sample page has the following advantages:
- Viewing Genesys Widgets with your own configuration.
- Copying Configuration Script. Using the details you entered on the form, the configuration script is generated in the Need Configuration Script box. You can copy this script and use it on your website to launch widgets.
How to use Launcher
Webchat
Click the checkbox next to Webchat to enable it. Enter the mandatory field URL (marked with an asterisk) and click on the Launch button. Other values are optional and self explanatory.
Co-browse
Click the checkbox next to the Co-browse heading to enable it. Enter required fields (marked with an asterisk) and click on the Launch button.
GWE
Click the checkbox next to the GWE heading to enable it. Enter required fields (marked with an asterisk) and click on the Launch button.
Send Message
Click the checkbox next to the Send Message heading to enable it. Enter required fields (marked with an asterisk) and click on the Launch button.
