Drive the widget from your own code
The website widget gained a JavaScript API, so your page can ask whether anyone is available, place a callback itself, and open the panel from a link. It also stopped waiting to be spoken to first.

A JavaScript API on window.LimeCall
Ask whether an agent is actually available before you offer a call, submit a callback request straight from your own form and get the request id back, set or read the department the visitor belongs to, and read the visitor id the widget already mints for attribution. Any link to #limecall opens the panel, so a marketing page can deep-link to it without writing a line of JavaScript.

Suggested replies in the widget’s opening state
The panel opens with a few one-tap questions instead of an empty text box, and the questions are yours to set. Visitors who would never have typed the first message start a conversation instead of leaving.
