Ability to set user attributes

[josiahwiebe]

Using Intercom, you're able to set user data when registering the chat loader. For example:

window.Intercom('boot', {
app_id: 'app_id_here',
...(user && {
  name: `${user.name.first} ${user.name.last}`,
  email: user.email,
  user_id: user.id,
  created_at: user.created_at,
}),

Is there any way to do this with this loader currently?

Hey @josiahwiebe 👋

You can achieve this by using window.intercomSettings (See docs here).

Bear in mind that any window.intercomSettings Messenger Attributes won't be applied to react-live-chat-loader.

Hope that helps! Let me know if that's not quite what you're after.

Yep, I ended up using window.Intercom in a useEffect hook. Thanks for this great library!

Great, glad it worked out.
