Mobile Solution, a set of APIs ready to use for application development like Android and iOS

A service is a part of a Platform.
So no. Belongs to. Check documentation site, it is well explained.

Thanks eugene, now reading twice the docs makes sense. I was reading chat server to GMS (confusing) but reading GMS to CHat Server has more references and makes much more sense.


Basically they moved Chat Server services to GMS so other platforms can use it more transparently and uses ChatServer app as just a parser.


Will install and let you know


Next step is to deploy the Widgets and strategies

You can extract the widgets/launcher.html page and run it from your desktop, no need to deploy eanywhere.
For the chat you need to create a service in GMS application using the api v2 options and structure
You can then access it by entering http://server:port/genesys/2/serviceName in the widgets page

ping me if you run into issues, but should be pretty straightforward configuration.

i think the part that's going to make you think about is the required customization to the widget to meet your customer's requirement in the pre chat survey form since almost guaranteed that the OOB widget will not serve your needs.

fortunately the developer site has some really good article on customizing widgets.

Question on this...
Is it possible to chat with a script? Mean, like a composer app or IRD strategy?
Like:


Chat: Hello! Please enter your ID number
Customer: 123456
Chat: > URS > Does a WS request (http://server/req/123456)
        > URS > Attachs Result (Debt = 100)
Chat: You have a debt of 100 dollars.
Chat: Enter 1 for support, enter 2 for sales


Something like a Visual IVR...??

Yes, you can add chat messages within your routing logic (URS or ORS)

Interesting topic, we are using the new chat widget as well for 2 months.
We are a customer so unfortunately we don't have access to this develop link  :(

You can ask your Genesys partner to grant you a Genesys access or if you took any training you can get in
