The SDK can be configured in a variety of ways to fit in seamlessly with the overall experience of the parent application. While initializing Haptik SDK, you pass the desired customization according to your need.

Settings:

  • primaryColor: String - The primary color used throughout the SDK.
  • tabletbgColor: String - Use this setting to change the background fill color.
  • enableTypingSuggestions: Boolean - Enables typing suggestions for the bot. Typing suggestions are autocompleting suggestions that show up for users when they type. This gives the user some context around the capabilities of the bot.
  • hideComposer: Boolean - Hides the composer so that the user is not given the option to type anything. This is useful when building actionable and highly directed bots.
  • noHeader: Boolean - Hides the chat window header.
  • privacyPolicyUrl: String - If GDPR is enabled, you can add a URL to your Privacy Policy page through init settings. Users will be redirected to this URL when they click on the link in the GDPR view. If not provided users will be redirected to Haptik's privacy policy page
  • initializeLanguage: String - Code of language you want to open bot with. For eg: en, hi . We support ISO_639-1 language codes.
  • composerPlaceholder: String - The placeholder text for the composer (typing area). This is the text that's shown in the typing area when it's empty.
  • customCss: String - A custom css file can be injected into the SDK, which will allow modifying the styles of the conversation screen. This parameter takes a URL path of the CSS file.

Example:

Kotlin Code:

val initData = InitData().apply {
    primaryColor = "#420420"
    composerPlaceholder = "Type message...."
    noHeader = true
    initializeLanguage = "en"
} 
HaptikSDK.init(applicationContext, initData)

Java Code:

InitData initData = new InitData();
initData.setPrimaryColor("#420420");
initData.setComposerPlaceholder("Type Message....");
initData.setNoHeader(true);
initData.setInitializeLanguage("en");
HaptikSDK.INSTANCE.init(this, initData);

Launch Message

You can launch the Bot with a task or message on behalf of the user. Haptik provides the following method for doing so.

Delete

Point to note: 

Call this method before calling HaptikSDK.loadGuestConversation() or HaptikSDK.loadConversation(signupData).

Kotlin Code:

HaptikSDK.setLaunchMessage("Your Message", true, true)

Java Code:

HaptikSDK.INSTANCE.setLaunchMessage("Hello custom sign up", false, false);

Params:

  • message <String> - The message that is to be sent.
  • hidden <Boolean> - Whether to send the message as a hidden user message. A hidden message is not visible to the user but can be seen by the agent or bot.
  • skipMessage <Boolean> - If set to true, the SDK will not send a launch message if the last message is a reply to a previous launch message.

CSS Customizations

Please use the 'customCSS' setting mentioned above.

Delete

Showcasing CSS classes here is out of the scope of this documentation. Please use the chrome browser's inspect element to identify which CSS classes of the SDK you need to update.

Update User Data

You can use HaptikSDK.updateUserData(userdata) method to update the user details and custom data. Make sure to call this method only after signup. Only email, mobile_no, username, and custom_data fields are allowed in the userData dictionary. 

Examples:

val customData = JSONObject().apply {
  put("order_id", 12345)
  put("date", "01/01/2022")
}

val userdata = JSONObject().apply {
  put("email", "test@email.com")
  put("mobile_no", "9898989898")
  put("username", "User Name")
  put("custom_data", customData)
}
HaptikSDK.updateUserData(userdata)

You can omit the fields which are not required to be updated.

val customData = JSONObject().apply {
  put("order_id", 12345)
  put("date", "01/01/2022")
}

val userdata = JSONObject().apply {
  put("username", "User Name")
  put("custom_data", customData)
}
HaptikSDK.updateUserData(userdata)
