· Why a developer portal

Hooks for the things you'd otherwise build twice.

Most teams want chat to talk to the rest of their stack — show different widgets to different visitors, push events to a CRM, kick off automations when a chat ends. The developer portal exposes the surfaces to do all of that without forking the widget.

· Three integration tracks

Pick the surface that fits the job.

JavaScript for in-page behaviour. Webhooks for server-side events. Zapier when you'd rather not write code at all.

JavaScript API

Manipulate the chat widget at runtime — show it, hide it, set visitor attributes, listen to events.

·Show, hide, maximize, minimize the widget
·Set visitor name and email; push custom attributes via setAttributes()
·Listen for onChatStarted, onChatEnded, and chat message events
·Trigger functions on widget load and status change

Webhooks

Real-time event notifications to any HTTPS endpoint. Connect chat events to your back end the moment they happen.

·Chat starts, chat ends, chat transcripts, ticket creation
·HMAC-SHA1 signed (X-Tawk-Signature header)
·Retried for up to 12 hours on non-2XX responses
·30-second request timeout

Zapier

Connect tawk.to to 1,500+ other web services. Set up Zaps in minutes — no coding.

·1,500+ connected apps
·Set up in minutes, no coding
·Setup guide at developer.tawk.to/zapier

· Quick taste

Wire it up in five lines.

Identify a logged-in visitor, attach custom attributes, and hide the widget on routes where you don't want it. That's most projects' day-one integration.

·Set Tawk_API.visitor before the widget script loads.
·Attribute changes mid-session use Tawk_API.setAttributes().

· Docs in

Read the docs in your language.

The developer portal ships in eight languages so the team that's actually doing the integration doesn't need to translate as they go.
