Choose a layout
AtomChat offers 2 Layouts
1. Docked Layout creates a floating chat widget at the bottom right/left corner of your website.
2. Embedded Layout embeds a chat interface inside any page of your websiteAnd please remember!
AtomChat layouts are not designed to be used together on the same page. If you add both layouts on the same page, please expect erratic behavior from the software.
Please copy the code given below and replace APP_ID and AUTH_KEY with your unique keys.
Then follow the instructions given in the section - "Where to add this code?"
NOTE: Please replace the "APP_ID" and "AUTH_KEY" values in the code with your own Keys from your AtomChat Admin Panel -> API Keys

var chat_appid = 'APP_ID';
var chat_auth = 'AUTH_KEY';
