Include placeholders for app deployment

On the Freshchat UI, an app can be rendered in multiple locations (pages). When you configure the app manifest, in manifest.json > manifest.json > product.freshchat.location.<placeholder-name>, you can specify the placeholder on a page where the app is eventually rendered.

Notes:
  • You can specify multiple placeholders in manifest.json > location.
  • Freshchat apps are supported only as web apps (and not as mobile apps).

This section provides information on all locations (and the placeholders in these locations) where an app can be rendered.
