Start new conversation
Starts a new conversation, or opens a new conversation with a message.
Start a new conversation
By default, starting a new conversation will navigate the user to a new conversation screen. The conversation can optionally be started with an initial message that appears either as an initial agent message or as an initial user message.
If the initial message is a user message, a conversation will also be created on the Kustomer backend.
If an initial message is not provided, or if the initial message is an agent message, a conversation will not be created until the user sends their first message.
// Navigating to a new empty conversation
Kustomer.getInstance().startNewConversation()
// Navigating to a new conversation with an initial user message and optional parameters
Kustomer.getInstance()
.startNewConversation(
title = "Refund Inquiry",
describeAttributes = KusDescribeAttributes(
hashMapOf(
Pair(
"orderNumberStr",
"33-44-55"
)
)
),
initialMessage = KusInitialMessage(
"I need help with my return.",
KusChatMessageDirection.CUSTOMER
)
) {
when (it) {
is KusResult.Success -> {
// handle success
}
is KusResult.Error -> {
// handle error
}
}
}
