This function enables you to transmit the data of a logged in account directly in Blinger.io.

Step 1. Get Secret key

To get Secret key, proceed to the tab "Apps", click on "Edit" in Livechat box and copy on the settings page the value in Secret key field

Step 2. Place the additional code on the widget page

Before the js-code of the Widget, you must place the following code on the same page:

<script>
 var customBlingerConfig = {
   customLivechatFields: {
     your_custom_param_1: 123,
     your_custom_param_2: 'my value',
     your_custom_param_n: 999,
     sign: 'ff127a29530759df7752f6ffab2a78fd'
   }
 };
</script>

Step 3. Calculate the value of parameter sign

The value of parameter sign depends on the values, passed parameters - that's hash of the parameter values. Hash is calculated on your server side and is needed to secure the parameters passed from changes made by third parties.

It is calculated as follows:

1. concatenation of all values of the parameters passed + Secret key

2. calculation of MD5 hash from the line received

Step 4. Calculation of the parameter on the side of Blinger.io

On the side of Blinger.io an analogous operation will be performed. After that the obtained hash will be matched with the one which arrived from your side. If there is a match the client will be tagged with the following icon in Blinger.io . Example below:

When you click on or the client's avatar, you can see in the table Сustom Fields the values of the parameters, which have been added at step 2.
