How to embed the Genesys Widgets into your website

Unzip the Genesys Widgets package to your web server, and then locate the cx-widget.min.js file.

Copy and paste the following instrumentation script into your web page:

// CX-Widget Instrumentation Script
<script>
    (function(d, s, id, o){
      var f = function(){
        var fs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0], e;
        if (d.getElementById(id)) return;e = d.createElement(s); e.id = id;
        e.src = o.src;fs.parentNode.insertBefore(e, fs);
      },ol = window.onload;
      if(o.onload){typeof window.onload != "function"?window.onload=f:window.onload=function(){ol();f()}}else f();
    })(document,'script','genesys-cx-widget', {src: "build/cx-widget.min.js", onload: false});
</script>

This script will dynamically generate a Javascript include <script> tag and place it into the page. By default the ID for the generated script tag is "genesys-cx-widget". You may modify this ID in the above script.

The following object is passed in with additional options:

{src: "http://www.yourhost.com/path/to/cx-widget.min.js", onload: false}

src

src is the URL or path to the location of the Genesys Widgets Javascript library that Genesys provides. You can host the library on your own web servers or on a Content Delivery Network (CDN).

onload

onload is an optional flag that, when set to true, will delay loading the CX Widget script until after the webpage has fully loaded (window.onload). By default this value is false and the CX Widget script is loaded immediately.

Now you can configure the Genesys Widget and the products and services associated with it.
