Personalized Agent Information in Customer widget

Introduction

We've recently introduced a new feature to enhance the personalization of the customer widget. This feature allows for a dynamic display of the agent's name in the active chat view based on the configuration settings of the customer widget.

Configuration Variable

• USERNAME_ENABLED: A boolean configuration variable was added in the ConfigMaps/ef-customer-widget-configmap.yaml file and is used to control the display of the agent's name in the customer widget.

• Add USERNAME_ENABLED in the env section of Deployments/ef-customer-widget-deployment.yaml

              - name: USERNAME_ENABLED
                valueFrom:
                  configMapKeyRef:
                    key: USERNAME_ENABLED
                    name: ef-customer-widget-cm
  

• Delete and Apply the ConfigMaps/ef-customer-widget-configmap.yaml and Deployments/ef-customer-widget-deployment.yaml files with the following commands to update the pods.

  • kubectl delete -f ConfigMaps/ef-customer-widget-configmap.yaml -n expertflow

  • kubectl apply -f ConfigMaps/ef-customer-widget-configmap.yaml -n expertflow

  • kubectl delete -f Deployments/ef-customer-widget-deployment.yaml -n expertflow

  • kubectl apply -f Deployments/ef-customer-widget-deployment.yaml -n expertflow

Behavior-Based on Configuration

1. When USERNAME_ENABLED is true only the agent's username will be shown.

   • Notification: The username will appear in the customer widget notifications.

   • Message Header: The username will also be displayed in the message header of the active chat view.

2. When USERNAME_ENABLED is false the widget will display the agent's full name if available. If both the first and last names are empty, a default string of "AGENT" will be shown.

   • Notification: The full name (or "AGENT" if the name parts are missing) will be displayed in the notification section.

   • Message Header: The first name and last name as full name (or "AGENT") will appear in the message header of the active chat view.

Detailed Display Logic

1. Active Chat View - Notifications

   • If USERNAME_ENABLED is true:

     • Display: Username

   • If USERNAME_ENABLED is false:

     • If firstName and lastName are available:

       • Display: FirstName LastName

     • If firstName or lastName is empty:

       • Display: available name like firstName

     • If firstName and lastName both are empty:

       • Display: "AGENT"

2. Active Chat View - Message Header

   • If USERNAME_ENABLED is true:

     • Display: Username

   • If USERNAME_ENABLED is false:

     • If firstName and lastName are available:

       • Display: FirstName LastName

     • If firstName or lastName is empty:

       • Display: available string like firstName or lastName.

     • If firstName and lastName are empty:

       • Display: "AGENT"

Example Scenarios

1. Scenario 1: USERNAME_ENABLED is true, username is "john_doe", firstName is "John", lastName is "Doe"

   • Notification: "john_doe"

   • Message Header: "john_doe"

2. Scenario 2: USERNAME_ENABLED is false, username is "john_doe", firstName is "John", lastName is "Doe"

   • Notification: "John Doe"

   • Message Header: "John Doe"

3. Scenario 3: USERNAME_ENABLED is false, username is "john_doe", firstName is "John", lastName is ""

   • Notification: "John"

   • Message Header: "John"

4. Scenario 3: USERNAME_ENABLED is false, username is "john_doe", firstName is "", lastName is "Doe"

   • Notification: "Doe"

   • Message Header: "Doe"

5. Scenario 4: USERNAME_ENABLED is false, username is "john_doe", firstName is "", lastName is ""

   • Notification: "AGENT"

   • Message Header: "AGENT"

This feature allows for a customizable and personalized experience for users interacting with the customer widget, based on the configMaps of the Customer Widget.
