Widget JavaScript API

The embed script exposes window.Sela. The older window.SelaWidget alias still works temporarily for compatibility.

Global Object

Use window.Sela to show the widget and update its runtime configuration in SPA-style apps.

javascript

window.Sela.show();
window.Sela.hide();

Opens the widget programmatically.

javascript

document.getElementById('help-btn')?.addEventListener('click', () => {
  window.Sela.show();
});

Closes the widget.

javascript

window.Sela.hide();

Updates visual widget configuration after load.

javascript

window.Sela.updateConfig({
  theme: 'dark',
  primaryColor: '#0f766e',
  widgetIcon: 'headset',
});

You can listen to iframe runtime messages indirectly through your own analytics hooks when needed.

window.SelaWidget

The legacy alias is still available temporarily, but new integrations should use window.Sela.
