Pop Up "Zendesk Messaging Widget" After Certain Amount of Time

Question

As we know that the zendesk Messaging Widget doesn't have proactive chat natively, after deep research I made this script to help anyone who wants the widget to pop a while after the website loads.

Hope it helps you!

<script type="text/javascript">
  window.setTimeout(function() {
     zE(function(){
        zE('messenger', 'open');
    });
    //You can add more APIs on this line
  }, 10000); //time’s in milliseconds - 10 seconds = 100000
</script>

<script type="text/javascript">
  window.setTimeout(function() {
     zE(function(){
        zE('messenger', 'open');
    });
    //You can add more APIs on this line
  }, 10000); //time’s in milliseconds - 10 seconds = 100000
</script>
