Installation

Add the script element inside the body of your web page. To get the script with your app key, go to [BLiP portal][1]. Choose the desired bot, go to the upper menu and access Channels > Blip Chat. On the Setup tab you will be able to get the required script. You also have to sign up all website domains into which Blip Chat will be included, otherwise it will not work.
That's all :)

For publishing purposes, download the script and make a reference to it locally. CDN may have availability problems and cause BLiP Chat instability.

new BlipChat()
.withAppKey("YOUR-APP-KEY")
.withButton({ color: "#2CC3D5" })
.build();
`

Guidelines

$3

It's pretty recommended to use SSL certificate for the site that will receive the BLiP Chat. This is necessary for security reasons and for some cards to work properly.

$3

BLiP Chat needs the document.referrer value to communicate with the website hosting it. But in some servers, we can have a Referrer-Policy header configurated. In this case, we cannot have a no-referrer and same-origin policies, because we won't receive the value in this situation (we just receive a blank string).

Reference Article: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Headers/Referrer-Policy
___

If your website blocks iframe origins by using the Content-Security-Policy, you need to add the domain https://chat.blip.ai/ on frame-src policy. If you do not add that domain, the BLiP Chat will not load and the following error will be showed on browser console:

`
Refused to frame 'https://chat.blip.ai/' because it violates the following Content Security Policy directive: "frame-src {domains}"
`

If you are using IIS server, your web.config file will looks like:

`XML











`

$3

This card only works if your website has a SSL certificate and is accessed via HTTPS. This occurs because of security polices of browsers.
