Custom Integration Guide

ChatNet can be easily integrated with any other script that has a user authentication system by using Single Sign-On (SSO). This allows ChatNet to work smoothly alongside your existing user database, giving users a seamless experience.

What is Single Sign-On ?
Single Sign-On (SSO) is an authentication approach that lets users log in once to access multiple related, but separate, applications. 

By enabling SSO with ChatNet, your users can chat or join chat rooms without needing to re-register or log in again within ChatNet.

When a user logs in, details such as username, first name, last name, and avatar are automatically carried over to ChatNet.

For WordPress users:
We offer a ChatNet WordPress SSO Integration Plugin to simplify integration with WordPress sites. You can purchase it -  https://www.oncodes.com/product/chatnetwp/

Step-by-Step Integration Instructions

Enable SSO in ChatNet
In your ChatNet Admin Dashboard, go to Integrations (SSO) in the sidebar. Complete the form by entering the required information, such as your domain and any custom details.

Embed the SSO Script on Your Website
Copy the following script and paste it into the code of your main website, preferably within the <head> or at the bottom of the <body> section:

<script type = 'text/javascript'>    "use strict";    (function() {        var ChatNetData = '{"chatnet_url":"https://demo4.chatnet.oncodes.com","email":"tony@oncodes.com","first_name":"Tony","last_name":"Stark","avatar_url":"https://www.gravatar.com/avatar/0a67ae61672d45b07f98311a8e676ffd","username":"tony"} ';        window.cnUserData = JSON.parse(ChatNetData);        var ocnw = document.createElement("script");        ocnw.type = "text/javascript";        ocnw.async = true;        ocnw.src = cnUserData.chatnet_url + "/sso/js";        var el = document.getElementsByTagName("script")[0];        el.parentNode.insertBefore(ocnw, el);    })(); </script>

Update ChatNetData: Modify the ChatNetData variable to dynamically pass the currently logged-in user’s information:

This information will allow ChatNet to recognize the user, creating a new profile if needed or logging in the user automatically if their profile already exists.

Automatic User Login and Access
Once the script is set up and running on your site, it will send the logged-in user’s details to ChatNet. Users visiting ChatNet will be logged in automatically and have access to all their profile information within the chat.

Please note that while ChatNet supports SSO for integration with external systems, we do not provide support for custom integrations. If you need assistance, we recommend consulting with a developer who can work with our provided documentation to implement this feature.
