Status Button

If your organization has a website directory of individual employee pages, you can quickly and easily add a real-time status widget to each employee profile with Engage.  When the employee is "online" the widget will display.  When they are "offline" the widget will hide.  When a visitor to the employee page clicks on the button, it will take them into a live engagement session.

Here are examples of live status buttons (if you don't see green buttons, those people are "offline"):

HERE IS GENERIC CODE FOR THE STATUS BUTTON:

<script src="https://sdk.engage.co/sdk.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
   var engage = new EngageSDK();
   engage.presence.watchUser("lieflarson", function(status) {
     // Place code to show/hide button here; something like the following line that works with jQuery
       jQuery(“.your-chat-button").toggle(status == "online");
   });
   engage.presence.start();
</script>

<div class=“your-chat-button” style=“display:none;”></div>

NOTE: THE "LIEFLARSON" IN THE CODE IS WHERE YOU INSERT YOUR USER NAME.  BY DEFAULT, MOST ENGAGE USERS ARE IN A FIRSTNAMELASTNAME FORMAT.  FOR EXAMPLE: https://profile.engage.co/lieflarson

IF YOU WANT TO CHECK THE BINARY STATUS OF ANY USER, YOU CAN DO SO BY USING THE FOLLOWING STATUS CHECK (SIMPLY CHANGE OUT LIEFLARSON WITH THE USERS NAME): https://wapi.engage.co/api/v2/userStatus?userDomain=lieflarson

HERE IS LIVE STATUS BUTTON CODE EXAMPLE:
