In one of my recent projects, I integrated Chatra.io, a live chat widget known for being free, professional, and easy to use. Overall, it offered an efficient way to engage with users directly on the website, providing a great balance of usability and customization options. However, there were some caveats worth noting, especially when it came to styling flexibility.

Free and User-Friendly: Chatra offers a robust set of features for free, making it ideal for both small businesses and growing projects that want to connect with their users.
Customizable Options: You can customize various aspects of the widget, such as language, colors, and chat behavior. Most of these configurations can be easily set through window.ChatraSetup. For more details on customization, I recommend checking out their comprehensive API documentation 🔧.

Styling Constraints Due to iframe: Unfortunately, Chatra opens its widget within an iframe, which can limit styling options from your project's global CSS. This was especially evident when trying to align or style text in Persian for RTL (right-to-left) support. Since the content is isolated within the iframe, you can't apply custom CSS styles directly to its elements. This can be a downside for developers who want greater control over the widget's appearance.

The installation process is straightforward, even when using frameworks like Next.js. You simply create a component and include the necessary Chatra script codes. Here's a quick tip: if you're using TypeScript, you may need to add some type definitions to avoid errors during integration.

Overall, I found 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐭𝐫𝐚.𝐢𝐨 to be a great option for projects that need a quick and professional way to engage with users. While it may have some limitations in styling due to the iframe structure, its overall feature set and ease of use make it a worthy addition to any website.
