Overview

Custom Scripts let you inject JavaScript/CSS into specific platform surfaces β€” the dashboard, the Help Center portal and the chat widget. They're useful for small behavior and style customizations without changing the codebase.

Prerequisites

  • Administrator permission to manage Custom Scripts.
  • JavaScript/CSS knowledge.

Step by step

  1. Open the Custom Scripts module.
  2. Create a script and choose the surface (dashboard, portal or widget).
  3. Set the type (JS or CSS) and when it should run.
  4. Use the ctx context provided by the runtime to interact with the surface safely.
  5. Implement teardown to clean up what the script created, when applicable.

Settings & options

  • Surface: dashboard / portal / widget.
  • Type: JS or CSS.
  • Execution: rules for when the script runs.

Use cases

  • Add a button or notice on a specific screen.
  • Tweak targeted styles of a surface.
  • Log usage events for internal analysis.

Tips, limits & best practices

  • Write idempotent scripts with teardown to avoid duplication.
  • Avoid heavy dependencies; prefer lean code.
  • Test in a controlled environment before publishing.

Troubleshooting

  • Script doesn't run: confirm the surface and execution rules.
  • Duplicated behavior: check teardown and idempotency.
