Configuration parameters

You can configure many aspects of ECP, such as the look and feel, the theme or the actions that the user can perform in the chat.

ECP settings

These are client-side parameters, which will not override the configuration of the pod. For example, if a user's admin has blocked file attachments in the Admin Portal, the setting showAttach to true will have no effect.

How to update settings

There are several ways to update the ECP settings:
  • Through the updateSettings method, documented below.
  • At initialization, when rendering the chat, though the render method.
  • In direct iFrame rendering only, you can specify the settings using the query string parameters of the iFrame source URL. Note: Not all settings are supported.

Update settings method

The updateSettings method exposed by the SDK lets you update the ECP configuration parameters (listed above):
Parameter
Type
Description
settings
Partial<EcpSettings>
Object containing the settings to update
// Example
window.symphony.updateSettings({
mode: 'dark',
condensed: true,
symphonyLogo: false,
...anyOtherSettingsObject
});

Custom themes

ECP comes with out-of-the-box support for Symphony's two color themes: Light and Dark.
You can also specify a custom theme, in order to align with the design system of the parent page. An example demonstrating the use of color palette overrides can be found here.
Note: Theming is currently only supported in Focus mode.
To set a custom theme, use either the render method or use the updateTheme method defined below.

Update theme method

The updateTheme method exposed by the SDK lets you update the ECP theme.
