Add AtomChat to your Teachable website

Modified on Fri, 28 Oct 2022 at 12:50 PM

You can easily add AtomChat group and private one-on-one chat to your Teachable lesson space.

Our SSO feature

All your users will be able to access the chat without having to create a separate account. We fetch user details, i.e the username, avatar image, and role from your Teachable itself.

Guest chat and Private chat

If you want only your members or logged-in users to be able to chat in a private space, you can disable Guest chat!

Please go to your AtomChat Admin Panel -> Settings -> Authentication -> Would you like guests to login as well? -> This can be set to No.

Guests are basically non-logged-in users or website visitors. If you want visitors also to be able to chat, you can change this setting to Yes.

Let's begin!

1. Sign-up for a Free Trial

You can select a suitable plan from AtomChat's pricing page and sign up for a 14-day free trial!

2. Note Your API Keys

Sign in to your Dashboard and click on the Manage button
You will see API Keys on the top right. You can copy your keys from here!

3. Secure your environment

For successful integration, please ensure your domain or local environment is SSL certified and secure.

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 website

And 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.

4. Setting up the Docked Layout

Click Code Snippets
Paste the following code inside the Head Code Snippets box and click the Save button.

<script>
var chat_appid = 'APP_ID';
var chat_auth = 'AUTH_KEY';

document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', function(){
    window.chat_id = window.fedora_user['id'];
    window.chat_name = window.fedora_user['name'];
    window.chat_avatar = window.fedora_user['gravatarUrl'];
    window.chat_role = window.fedora_user['role'];
});
</script>
<script>
(function() {
    var chat_css = document.createElement('link'); chat_css.rel = 'stylesheet'; chat_css.type = 'text/css'; chat_css.href = 'https://fast.cometondemand.net/'+chat_appid+'x_xchat.css';
    document.getElementsByTagName("head")[0].appendChild(chat_css);
    var chat_js = document.createElement('script'); chat_js.type = 'text/javascript'; chat_js.src = 'https://fast.cometondemand.net/'+chat_appid+'x_xchat.js'; var chat_script = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0]; chat_script.parentNode.insertBefore(chat_js, chat_script);
