Javascript Callbacks

iAdvize provides Javascript callbacks functions that can be used to perform actions on specific events.

How to use callbacks

To execute custom code during an iAdvize callback function you have to define an iAdvizeCallbacks variable that will contain the callbacks you want to use.

⚠️ Please note that you must declare this variable before the main iAdvize tag.

Each callback function has an obj variable passed as a parameter that could contain some extra information about iAdvize elements.

In the example bellow we want to track Google Analytics events when a chat or a call starts / ends :

var iAdvizeCallbacks = {
  //iAdvize callback functions are listed here
  onChatStarted: function(obj){
    // Chat session starts
    _gaq.push(['_trackEvent', 'iAdvize', 'Chat Start', obj.startedBy]);
  },
  onChatEnded: function(obj){
    // Chat session ends
    _gaq.push(['_trackEvent', 'iAdvize', 'Chat End', obj.startedBy]);
  },
  onCallStarted: function(obj){
    // Call session starts
    _gaq.push(['_trackEvent', 'iAdvize', 'Call Start']);
  },
  onCallEnded: function(obj){
    // Call session ends
    _gaq.push(['_trackEvent', 'iAdvize', 'Call End']);
  }
};
//Put you iAdvize tracking code below...
