    hi All,

    Just wondering if anyone can help advise about Web Messaging, especially in relation to WebSocket API.

    In this article, https://developer.genesys.cloud/commdigital/digital/webmessaging/, it explained that Web Messaging can be initiated from 2 options:

    1. Messenger Widget
    2. Custom guest interface and at backend use WebSocket API to initiate session.

    Just want to ask advise, means then Messenger Widget is have built in websocket function at the backend ? But if we have custom widget, we can use WebSocket API to initiate chat session at the backend ? Or messenger has its own method ?

    Thank you Fransiska

    Hello,

    It just means that you can either use our Messenger Widget - which is the pre-built client/UI we provide for Web Messaging ("ready to use" guest web messaging client, leveraging Web Messaging Guest API) and that you can leverage immediately on your website - or build/develop your own user interface for guests (leveraging the Web Messaging Guest API).

    Regards,
