Don't let your community leave for third party chat apps

Build chat into your community in a few hours with our chat API and pre-built UI. With native messaging, you can keep users from switching to messaging apps like WhatsApp, Discord, or Slack.

Allow members to talk in private via DMs

With a 1-on-1 private chat, users can connect in a more intimate way and share images and documents without using third-party apps. Also, users can keep the conversations in the loop even when offline with email notifications.

Integrate chat with a few lines of code

You just need to tell us which conversation to display, who's chatting, and where to show it on the page. We take care of the rest! And if you want a deeper integration, we have all the APIs you'll need to add functionality or integrate into your own systems.

Getting started guide

1// Synchronize user data and set up
2const currentUser = new Talk.User({
3    id: 79302, // your own user id
4    name: "Nina Caldwell",
5    email: "nina.caldwell@example.com" // for offline email fallback
6});
7const session = new Talk.Session({
8    appId: "9352938974", // your TalkJS account id
9    me: currentUser // make Nina the active user
10});
11const other = new Talk.User({
12    id: "654321",
13    name: "Sebastian",
14    email: "sebastian@example.com"
15});
16
17// Add users to the conversation
18const conversation = session.getOrCreateConversation(Talk.oneOnOneId(me, other));
19conversation.setParticipant(me);
20conversation.setParticipant(other);
21
22// All set! Let's turn a div into Nina's messaging center
23const inbox = session.createInbox();
24inbox.mount(document.getElementById("chat-container"));

Themes

Tune the look and feel of your chat

You can deeply customise the chat UI with HTML and CSS. With TalkJS Themes you have complete control over the styling, the layout, and document structure of the chat messages and the possibility to show metadata.

Explore TalkJS themes

What I can say is that we have ~1000 conversations happening through TalkJS chat that would have happened off-platform or not happen at all otherwise.
