How do I access Web Widget API commands in my React App?

Posted Oct 19, 2022

Stupid question - I know. But how do I access commands like zE('messenger', 'open'); straight from my react app?

All of those commands are perfectly accessible via console in dev tools. But when I try to access them in my React app functions. It doesn't work.

I basically need this to work:

<button onClick={() => zE('messenger', 'open')}>Open chat window</button>

But it keeps saying i dont have zE defined. Yet it works in the console.. Ahh

Thanks!

Can you try calling the zE method against the window object and see if that works for you? i.e:

<button onClick={() => window.zE('messenger', 'open')}>Open chat window</button>
