Can I use a link to open the chat?

Hi @misterbirra,

There’s no native functionality to achieve what you’re describing – you would need to write some custom JavaScript depending on your exact needs.

Hope this helps,

Yes, you can do this! Just add an onclick handler to your button like this:

<div class="button" onclick="FB.CustomerChat.showDialog();">Click to Chat!</div>

I found some other useful commands here: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/messenger-platform/discovery/customer-chat-plugin/sdk#install
