Asklify + iOS (Swift)

NavigationLink("Contact support") {
    SupportChatView()
        .navigationTitle("Support")
        .navigationBarTitleDisplayMode(.inline)
}

Ready-to-use template

Copy, paste, replace the project ID — that's the whole integration:

import SwiftUI
import WebKit

/// Hosted Asklify chat inside a WKWebView.
struct SupportChatView: UIViewRepresentable {
    private let chatURL = URL(string: "https://app.asklify.in/widget/pub_YOUR_PROJECT_ID")!

    func makeUIView(context: Context) -> WKWebView {
        let config = WKWebViewConfiguration()
        config.websiteDataStore = .default() // persist conversation history
        let webView = WKWebView(frame: .zero, configuration: config)
        webView.load(URLRequest(url: chatURL))
        return webView
    }

    func updateUIView(_ uiView: WKWebView, context: Context) {}
}

Customization

All appearance and behavior — name, greeting, colors, theme, position, suggested questions — is configured in your dashboard under Widget settings and applies instantly without redeploying. See the widget configuration reference.

Event handling

To react to what happens in conversations — a chat starting, a customer requesting a human, feedback submitted — subscribe to webhooks. For fully custom experiences, the REST API exposes chat with streaming, knowledge search, and conversation transcripts.

Best practices

• The default website data store persists the visitor's conversation between launches.
• App Transport Security needs no exceptions — the chat URL is HTTPS.
• For fully native UI, proxy the REST /chat API through your backend and stream deltas into your own views.

Troubleshooting

• White screen — confirm the project's hosted chat URL is correct (pub_ ID) and reachable in Safari.
• Keyboard overlaps input — WKWebView handles this automatically inside a navigation view; avoid fixed-height containers.
