I have a dynamic page and I added a button on it to open the WIX Chat. I hope that when a site member click the button, the WIX Chat will open, then automatically direct to the author of the dynamic page.

How to achieve it? Thanks in advance .

Following, I think there isn’t that code to do it

Any idea.?

Same question! I’d like something without code as well.

You’ll want to use the chat button for Wix Chat found under Contact & Forms> Wix Chat Button> Button element

The Wix Chat button can send a message to the Owner of a dynamic item page?

Totally missed the bit about to the owner of a dynamic page :face_with_peeking_eye:

Reading through the docs, I think it’s technically possible - with a few potential caveats.

It’d probably use a flow similar to:

  • Enable member-to-member chat
  • When a button is clicked, use a backend function to establish a conversation between 2 members using sendMessage() if no conversation already exists - Velo Wix Chat Backend Introduction | Velo
  • Use the channelID of the new/existing chat between the members to open the Chat Widget:
    $w("#wixChat").focusChannel({channelId: "channelID"})

This would open the chat widget at the conversation between members. Thanks for spotting my oversight! :pray:
