Zendesk Web Widget API problem
Posted Feb 15, 2023
I am using Messaging web widget by importing it on my web page.
And I also use the "loginUser" and "open" APIs together to open the messaging window after the user logs in.(https://developer.zendesk.com/documentation/zendesk-web-widget-sdks/sdks/web/sdk_api_reference/#login)
Specifically, I am calling "zE('messenger', 'loginUser',..." and immediately after that, "zE('messenger', 'open')" to achieve this.
this is code for it
zE('messenger', 'loginUser', function (callback) {
callback(token);
zE('messenger', 'open'); });
However, when I make both API calls, the messaging window only displays a loading spinner and does not show any chat content.
I want to use the web widget properly when using both APIs.

Hey kim eudd,
Thanks for reaching out!
I've tested this on my end and I have been able to replicate the behaviour. Our product team is taking a look to see what might be causing this. As a workaround, you can wrap the zE('messenger', 'open') method in a setTimeout function and that should mitigate the problem.
I'll update you in this thread once I have more information.
Thanks!

Hi kim eudd,
A fix has been rolled out for this issue. Can you confirm that everything is now working as anticipated on your end without the use of the workaround?

Hey, Zendesk!
We also have this issue in production. Randomly, rarely, the messenger spinner hangs.
We like to offer an alternative, when this happens, we wanna inform people to reach out via email.
Can you please emit a 'ready' event when the spinner is over and messages are visible?
