This is an example project for TalkJS's tutorial on how to set an automatic away message outside office hours.

The project uses TalkJS webhooks to listen for new message events from the TalkJS server, and then calls the REST API to reply with a automatic system message when a customer sends a message outside of support hours.

Prerequisites

To run this tutorial, you will need:

How to run the tutorial

  1. Clone or download the project.
  2. Replace <APP_ID> and <SECRET_KEY> in index.html and server.js with the values found in your TalkJS dashboard.

  4. Add "support" and "customer" roles in the Roles tab of the TalkJS dashboard.
  5. Start ngrok with ngrok http 3000.
  6. Add the ngrok URL to Webhook URLs in the TalkJS dashboard.
