Re: finding online operators

That is what I needed.Now, is there a way to place links on my site outside of the chat that initiate a chat with a particular operator when clicked. For example, I'd like to check if Operator A is online, then have a link that says "Chat with Operator A".

Re: finding online operators

Hi,

Start chat functionality support only dedicated departments not operators. So you can use departments. After you find out what department/operator is online. Just generate link with something like
example.com/index.php/chat/startchat/(department)/1 - for first departmentexample.com/index.php/chat/startchat/(department)/2 - for second department

So after user opens a link it will be preselected department which he cannot change.

And so on.
