Additional blocks

Additional sections are divided into two types:

Static blocks

It displays static information. At the section settings, the information (text) is set and displayed on each ticket. The text supports various ticket variables.


Dynamic blocks

It makes a request to the url specified in its settings and renders the content that is returned to it at response.

Expected response format: json

The structure of the expected response:

{ 
"html": "Any HTML"
}


If the secret key is specified it is added to the request body.

By default, the response will be designed in accordance with the styles of Usedesk, there is support for bootstrap. Also, the answer may contain your own styles added to html.
The response timeout is 60 seconds. Above each dynamic blocks there is a “refresh” button, which repeats the request and reloads the data into the blocks.
