After-hours chat widget

Answers on tribecabeverage.com when the office is closed. The live widget is in the corner of this page →

\n${\n forced\n ? `

FORCE_BOT is on. The bot will answer during business hours too, on top of tawk.to. Fine for testing — set FORCE_BOT to false in this val's Environment Variables before you leave the widget live on the site.

`\n : \"\"\n }\n

Office right now: ${\n open ? \"OPEN — tawk.to handles it\" : \"CLOSED — bot answers\"\n }${forced ? ` bot forced on` : \"\"}

\n\n

Install

Paste this once into the site footer (WordPress: Appearance → Theme File Editor, or a \"custom HTML/scripts\" plugin):

<script src=\"${base}/widget.js\" defer></script>

It leaves tawk.to completely alone — the bubble only renders when the office is closed, so the two never appear together.

Before it works

GEMINI_API_KEY — from aistudio.google.com/apikey. Add it here.
LEADS_KEY — any random string; then /leads?key=… shows what's been captured.
NOTIFY_EMAIL — optional; where lead emails go. Unset means they go to the val owner.
FORCE_BOT=true — optional; makes the bot answer during business hours too, for testing.

Hours

8am–5pm Mon–Sat, closed Sunday, America/New_York — same as the SMS rep. Change them in config.ts.
