CHAT4 allows you to control the behavior of the widget using the available API functions By default, the Chat Widget is displayed collapsed with slided welcome message. This can be changed in the widget's HTML code settings using the data-state parameter. Using the API, you can open or close the chat window, open the channels panel, make the widget invisible
On each page of your site with an embedded Chat Widget, you have access to a global instance of chat4Widget with which you can use the API, for example chat4Widget.openChat();
