Custom Trigger (JS)

Use the "Custom Trigger" component if you want to use a custom button, search bar, link, or any other UI element to open the Inkeep AI search or chat modal.

Quick Start

JavaScript example:

<script type="module" defer>
  // Get the button element
  const inkeepButton = document.getElementById("inkeepButton");
 
  // Create a new div element to hold the Inkeep modal and set its id and position
  const inkeepDiv = document.createElement("div");
  inkeepDiv.id = "inkeepModal";
  inkeepDiv.style.position = "absolute";
  document.body.appendChild(inkeepDiv);
 
  const handleClose = () => {
    inkeepWidget.render({
      ...config,
      isOpen: false,
    });
  };
 
  const handleOpen = () => {
    inkeepWidget.render({
      ...config,
      isOpen: true,
    });
  }
 
  const config = {
    componentType: "CustomTrigger", // required
    targetElement: inkeepDiv, // required
    properties: {
      isOpen: false, // required
      onClose: handleClose, // required
      onOpen: undefined,
      baseSettings: {
        apiKey: process.env.INKEEP_API_KEY!, // required
        integrationId: process.env.INKEEP_INTEGRATION_ID!, // required
        organizationId: process.env.INKEEP_ORGANIZATION_ID!, // required
        primaryBrandColor: "#26D6FF",
        organizationDisplayName: "Inkeep",
        //... optional base settings
      },
      modalSettings: {
        // optional InkeepModalSettings
      },
      searchSettings: {
        // optional InkeepSearchSettings
      },
      aiChatSettings: {
        // optional InkeepAIChatSettings
        botAvatarSrcUrl: "/img/inkeep-logo.svg",
        quickQuestions: [
          "Example question 1?",
          "Example question 2?",
          "Example question 3?",
        ],
      },
    },
  };
 
  // Embed the widget using the `Inkeep.embed()` function.
  const inkeepWidget = Inkeep().embed(config);
 
  // Add event listener to open the Inkeep modal when the button is clicked
  inkeepButton.addEventListener("click", handleOpen);
</script>
