Error handling
Handle SupportChatError, inspect error codes, and retry recoverable failures.
Async methods reject with a SupportChatError, exposed on the global as
SupportChat.Error:
try {
await chat.sendMessage({ conversationId, text });
} catch (err) {
if (err instanceof SupportChat.Error) {
console.error(err.code, err.message, err.requestId);
if (err.recoverable) {
// safe to retry (often after a short backoff)
}
}
}| Field | Description |
|---|---|
code | Machine‑readable error code (below). |
message | Human‑readable description. |
reason | Optional finer‑grained reason. |
requestId | Correlation id — include it in support requests. |
recoverable | Whether a retry may succeed. |
