- You can also use the JS-API scripts available in Zoho SalesIQ, for which you can replace the script in the JS-API-functions inside the code. For example: I've used the JSAPI script to get the visitor name in the reference screenshot.
Note: The JSAPI functions that you use must be appropriately parsed in-order to reflect successfully in SharePoint.
- Refresh the SharePoint website, you can view the SalesIQ live chat widget popped-up on your website.
