Out of band Self Connection

This feature allows users to connect with your app through a QR code or a dynamic link.

In addition to a regular connection, you’ll receive a callback notification once a user is connected to your app. The callback is an entry point to build your business logic, e.g., sending a welcome message.

Let’s see an example:

Generating a QR code

# Generates a QR code for the connection request
@app.chat
    .generate_connection_qr
    .as_png(border: 0, size: 400)
    .save('/tmp/qr.png', :interlace => true)

qrdata, _ := s.chat.GenerateConnectionQR(chat.ConnectionConfig{
	Expiry: time.Minute * 5,
})

// Generates a QR code for the connection request
let buf = sdk.chat().generateConnectionQR()
const fs = require(‘fs’).promises;
await fs.writeFile(’/tmp/qr.png’, buf);

Generating a dynamic link

link = @app.chat.generate_connection_deep_link("")

link, err := s.chat.GenerateConnectionDeepLink(chat.ConnectionConfig{
	Expiry: time.Minute * 5, // this is required ?
})

let link = sdk.chat().generateConnectionDeepLink("")

Subscribing to new connections

# Register an observer for a connection response
@app.chat.on_connection do |res|
    if res.status == "accepted"
        p "successfully connected"
        @app.chat.message(res.from, "Hey there! We're connected!")
    end
end

s.chat.OnConnection(func(iss, status string) {
	log.Println("Response received from " + iss + " with status " + status)
	parts := strings.Split(iss, ":")
	s.chat.Message([]string{parts[0]}, "Hi there!")
})

sdk.chat().onConnection((res: any): any => {
  sdk.logger.info(`connection request ${res.status} by ${res.data.display_name}(${res.iss})`)
  sdk.chat().message(res.iss, "hi there!")
  exit()
})
