Build on EveryChan

EveryChan has a REST API, outbound webhooks, an OAuth provider for building installable apps, and an embeddable chat widget with a small JavaScript API. This is where you wire EveryChan into the rest of your stack.

Base URL & format

Every REST endpoint lives under /api on your app host. On staging that is:

https://everychan-app.dashka.io/api

Requests and responses are JSON. Successful responses wrap their payload in a data field; errors return a non-2xx status with an error string.

Quickstart

Issue a visitor token (this endpoint is public — it is what the widget calls to start a session), then open a conversation over the WebSocket. For agent-side and management calls, authenticate with a bearer token — see Authentication.

# 1. Get a visitor session token
curl -X POST https://everychan-app.dashka.io/api/visitors/get_token \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"workspaceId":"YOUR_WORKSPACE_ID"}'

# → { "data": { "token": "…", "visitorSessionId": "…", "workspaceId": "…" } }

# 2. Call an authenticated endpoint
curl https://everychan-app.dashka.io/api/canned-responses \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_TOKEN"

What you can build

• Installable apps — register an OAuth app and let any workspace install it with scoped access (the model Slack, HubSpot, etc. use).
• Event-driven automations — subscribe to webhooks for new conversations, messages, and closes.
• Custom widgets & deep links — embed the chat widget and drive it from your own UI.

API reference

Every endpoint is documented interactively — authenticate with a token and try calls right in the browser.
