Tidio's Front-end API

We offer a resource called TidioChatAPI: it is a collection of front-end scripts that can force certain behavior on the widget (the front end). You can see these commands in our widget SDK documentation here.

Please keep in mind that due to each website's specific design, we cannot assist with customizing the API commands or implementing them on your website. These methods will be helpful for developers only.

In this article, you'll learn:
