Passing Customer Information

You can also send information of the logged-in user to your Helpwise inbox from the widget. This helps in tracking information about the user, with whom you are having the conversation.

You can pass name, email and userid of the customer. Here is how the snippet looks like when you pass the customer information.

<script>
  helpwiseSettings = {
    widget_id: '5ebf59cfe4319', //your app id
    align:'right', //it can be left or right
    user_id: '', //pass the value within single quotes 
    firstname:'',
    lastname:'',
    email:''
