Get Started

To help you get a quick understanding of the Hyphenate Customer Engagement Cloud and the abilities to integrate on your mobile Apps, we have prepared a “Mall” demo for you. Here is how you can get started with the “Mall” demo.

You can try the conversation and note functions with the “Mall” demo. The installation and setup steps are as follows:

  1. Scan the QR code on the “Quick IM Account” tab with your phone and install the “Mall” demo. After the installation is complete, the “Mall” demo displays the name “EMMobile Client” on your phone.
  2. Open the “Mall” demo on your phone, tap Setting. On the Setting screen, tap “Scan” in the upper right corner.
  3. Use the “Mall” demo to scan the QR code on the Quick IM Account tab to automatically retrieve the configuration, including: AppKey, IM service ID, tenant ID, and note ID.

Note:

When you use the “Mall” demo on your iPhone for the first time, you need to go to “Settings > General > Device Management > EaseMob Inc.”, and tap “Trust EaseMob Inc.”

Step 4: Start a Conversation

The chat screen shows the customer's and agent's avatars and nicknames. The customer can send the following messages to the agent: text, Emoji, images, voice, location, and custom messages (track messages, order messages, etc).
