Kustomer.openKbCategory()

Use Kustomer.openKbCategory() to open the chat widget and take the customer to a specific knowledge base category based on the category id.

You can find the category id in Kustomer when you select a category from the Categories settings page under Settings > Knowledge Base.

Example URL for an category: https://<org>.kustomerapp.com/app/settings/kb/categories/<id>/edit

First, initialize chat fully

Kustomer Chat must finish initializing fully with Kustomer.start() before you can execute any additional Web SDK methods.

Tip: Call other methods inside the callback of Kustomer.start() to ensure Kustomer Chat always completes initialization before the code tries to run other methods.

To learn more, see Troubleshooting: Kustomer method calls won't execute.

Examples

// Go to an category by category id
Kustomer.openKbCategory('SOME_CATEGORY_ID');


// Go to the category and run a callback 
Kustomer.openKbCategory('SOME_CATEGORY_ID', (response, error) => {
  if (error) {
    console.error(error);
  } else {    
	  console.log('Successfully opened category.');
  }
});

Syntax

Kustomer.openKbCategory(categoryId, function(null, error))
