Capture Browser Details in Salesforce Messaging for In-App and Web

In order to capture Browser Details like Browser Name, Browser Language and Browser Platform in Salesforce Messaging for In-App and Web, we can make use of navigator from JavaScript and setHiddenPrechatFields from Salesforce Messaging for In-App and Web.

Prerequisites:

a. Better understanding of passing hidden pre-chat details in Salesforce Messaging for In-App and Web.

b. Use the following code for passing the Browser details.

window.addEventListener("onEmbeddedMessagingReady", () => {
            
	console.log( "Inside Prechat API!!" );
	const fetchBrowserName = () => {

		let browserInfo = navigator.userAgent;
		let browserName;
		if ( 
			browserInfo.includes('Opera') || 
			browserInfo.includes('Opr') 
		) {
		
			browserName = 'Opera';
			
		} else if ( browserInfo.includes( 'Edg' ) ) {
		
			browserName = 'Edge';
			
		} else if (browserInfo.includes( 'Chrome' ) ) {
		
			browserName = 'Chrome';
			
		} else if ( browserInfo.includes( 'Safari' ) ) {
		
			browserName = 'Safari';
			
		} else if ( browserInfo.includes( 'Firefox' ) ) {
		
			browserName= 'Firefox';
			
		} else {
		
			browserName = 'unknown';
			
		}
		return browserName;
		
	}

	const strBrowserName = fetchBrowserName();
	console.log(
		'Browser Name is',
		strBrowserName
	);
	const browserLanguage = navigator.language;
	console.log(
		'Browser Language is',
		browserLanguage
	);
	const browserPlatform = navigator.platform;
	console.log(
		'Browser Platform is',
		browserPlatform
	);
	embeddedservice_bootstrap.prechatAPI.setHiddenPrechatFields( { 
		"BrowserName" : strBrowserName,  	
		"BrowserLanguage" : browserLanguage,  	
		"BrowserPlatform" : browserPlatform 	
	} );
	
});

1. Create Custom Fields in the Salesforce Messaging Session object/entity.

2. Create Custom Parameters in the Salesforce Messaging Channel and do the Parameter Mapping.

3. In the Embedded Service Deployment, select the custom parameters in the Hidden Pre-Chat Fields section.

4. Use Update Records element in the Omni-Channel Flow to update the Messaging Session record with the browser details.
