Why is my Proactive Chat Campaign not appearing on my webpage?

Incorrectly applying URL protocol

Assuming your entire Proactive Chat Campaign is properly configured and you have Chat embedded on the website, the most common cause of the issue is the URL Trigger containing the URL protocol, such as www. or https://. Make sure to exclude the URL protocol when setting up URL Triggers.

Use of custom button for Chat widget

Another common reason is the use of custom buttons for the Chat widget for additional styling which is not immediately compatible with Proactive Chat. In this case, Proactive Chat can still be used by utilizing the campaign:triggered Chat event together with the Gladly.applyCampaign('<campaign-id>') API. Additional information about this can be found here.

Attempting to trigger the Campaign from a Shopify /thank our /cart page

If you’re using Shopify, they don’t allow Proactive Chat Campaigns from triggering within /thank you or /cart web pages. You can, however, expose Chat on these pages to create a pathway to your Support team.
