Chats can be rated not only by customers in the chat widget but also with help of rest API requests. Read more about chat rating.

➡️ Request

Read more about authorization header here.

You should specify chat id (required) and rating (required) in the body of your PUT request.

{
    "id": 5208,
    "rating": "poor"
}

id is the identifier for the chat as given by HelpCrunch.
rating reflects the quality of the chat and can be one of the following: perfect, great, average, poor, or very poor.

If your request has succeeded, you'll get a 200 OK success status code together with the chat information in the response body.
