Common Lifecycle Pattern
- Initialize platform context early.
- Build a channel item (
entryIdfor chat/video/ZVA,apiKeyfor scheduled callback and campaign flows). - Get service/client instance.
- Register listeners/delegates before user interaction.
- Start flow (
fetchUI,startVideo, or web SDK open/show path). - Handle engagement state changes (
start,hold,resume,end) and context switching. - End flow and release resources (
endChat/endVideo,logout/logoff, uninitialize/release).
High-Level Scenarios
- Agent side-panel app that stores notes per
engagementIdand survives context switching. - Browser chat/video campaigns launched from web tags.
- Native mobile customer app for chat/video/scheduled callback.
- Campaign-driven channel selection (chat, ZVA, video, scheduled callback).
- Rejoin flow for dropped video engagements on mobile.
- Smart Embed CRM softphone with postMessage event contracts.
