In the web device mode integration, that is, using JavaScript SDK as a source, RudderStack loads the SnapEngage native SDK from the https://storage.googleapis.com/ domain.

Based on your website’s content security policy, you might need to allowlist this domain to load the SnapEngage SDK successfully.

Get started

Once you have confirmed that the source platform supports sending events to SnapEngage, follow these steps:

1. From your RudderStack dashboard, add a source. Then, from the list of destinations, select SnapEngage.
2. Assign a name to the destination and click Continue.

Connection settings

To successfully configure SnapEngage as a destination, you will need to configure the following settings:

• Widget ID: Enter your SnapEngage widget ID.

For more information on obtaining your SnapEngage widget ID, refer to the FAQ section below.

• Record Live Chat Events: Enable this setting to allow RudderStack to automatically record your SnapEngage Live Chat events as track events.
• Update Event Name in track call: If Record Live Chat Events is enabled, enable this setting to update the event names in the track call.
  • Mapping to update the Event Name in track call: Use this setting to map the standard SnapEngage events with your custom event names.
• Client-side Events Filtering: This setting lets you specify which events should be blocked or allowed to flow through to SnapEngage.

For more information on this setting, refer to the Client-side Events Filtering guide.

• Use device mode to send events: As this is a web device mode-only destination, this setting is enabled by default and cannot be disabled.

Identify

You can use the identify call to set the user’s email and username in SnapEngage through their SDK.

A sample identify call is shown below:

rudderanalytics.identify(
  "1hKOmRA4GRlm", {
    email: "alex@example.com",
    name: "Alex Keener"
  }
);

Supported mappings

The following table lists the mappings between the RudderStack and SnapEngage properties:

Track

If you enable the Record Live Chat Events dashboard setting, RudderStack records the SnapEngage Live Chat events based on the user’s interactions and sends them as track events. You can then view and analyze these events using other tools (connected to the same source in RudderStack).

Supported events

RudderStack automatically records and sends the following Live Chat events:

• Live Chat Conversation Started

SnapEngage.setCallback("StartChat", function() {
  window.rudderanalytics.track(
    "Live Chat Conversation Started", {}, {
      context: {
        integration: {
          name: 'snapengage',
          version: '1.0.0'
        }
      }
    }
  );
});

• Live Chat Conversation Ended

SnapEngage.setCallback("Close", function() {
  window.rudderanalytics.track(
    "Live Chat Conversation Ended", {}, {

          name: 'snapengage',
          version: '1.0.0'
        }
      }
    }
  );
});

SnapEngage.setCallback("ChatMessageSent", function() {
  window.rudderanalytics.track(

  );
});

  window.rudderanalytics.track(
    "Live Chat Message Received", {
      agentUsername: agent

        integration: {
          name: 'snapengage',
          version: '1.0.0'

          version: '1.0.0'
        }
      }
    }
  );
});

Mapping events
