Listening to Events

The ServiceBell widget triggers events on the global window object in JavaScript that can be listened for and reacted to. Some of these events will get triggered by calls to the ServiceBell JavaScript API, but they can also be triggered by visitor interaction with the widget, or by admins interacting with visitors via the ServiceBell dashboard.
Events
