There are lots of options you can use when deploying a tree with a Zingtree URL. Many of these are available in the Settings tool, but if you add a parameter in the URL it will override anything set via Settings.
Options not available in the Settings tool:
| Command Example | Description |
| &source=Bill | Attach a source or agent name to the session. Useful for tracking who is using the tree, or where the end-user came from. |
| &agent_mode=1 | Use this if you're in a call center environment. The source= parameter is saved as the name of the agent. |
| &session_id=MY_COMPANY-12345678ABCDE | Pass a custom session ID - this should be unique across all Zingtree sessions for all of our customers, so we recommend including a prefix unique to your organization. If this is not set, Zingtree will assign a unique session ID for you. |
| &start_node=20 | Want to launch this tree from somewhere other than the root node? This example will launch your tree starting from node #20. |
| &tags=tag1,tag2 | Used for matching tags using #?#treetaglist-any: ## or #?#treetaglist-all: ## templates. |
| &nochrome=1 | Set this to hide the top and bottom parts of the Zingtree Hosted page. (Zingtree Hosted only.) |
| &variables=Name|Date | Names of merge variables sent to this tree. Each variable is separated by | . |
| &values=Bill|2017-03-01 | The values for each merge variable. Separated by |. |
| &save_plus=1 | Keep any plus characters in merge variables. If this is not set, plus characters are converted to space characters. |
| &auth_token=TOKEN | Passes a token to any webhook calls. This token reappears in the X-Auth-Token HTTP header when the webhook is called. More details here |
| &hide_end_user_only=1 | Hides any content surrounded by [[USER-ONLY]] and [[/USER-ONLY]] markup. |
These options (less commonly used) will override anything set using the Settings tool:
| Command Example | Description |
| &persist_names=Restart|New+Ticket | Names of persistent buttons that appear below every node of the tree. Each button is separated by a |. |
| &persist_node_ids=1|3 | Node numbers corresponding to &persist_names. Also separated by |. |
| &feedback=1 | Include a feedback button (Agent Feedback) at the bottom right of the tree. Anything entered here will be sent to the authors of the tree. |
| &show_session_notes=1 | Include a "session notes" button at the bottom of the tree so that the end-user can add notes about the current session. |
| &search_all=1 | Include a "search all" button at the bottom of the tree. |
| &nopermalink=1 | Hide the permanent link icon, which appears at the top right of each node if enabled. |
| ¬itle=1 | Hide the title of the tree when displaying it. |
| &hide_back_button=1 | Hide the "back" button that appears at the bottom of every node. |
| &lazyload=1 | Set this to "lazy load" images. This makes images appear only when needed when a node displays, and can make the entire tree load faster if it contains a lot of images. |
| &transition=fade | Use this to set one of the transition effects (none / fade / slide) |
| &speed=1000 | The speed for a transition effect, in 1000ths of a second. The example (1000) will make a one-second transition between each node. |
| &responsive_videos=1 | Makes any embedded YouTube videos responsive. Videos will scale to the size of the display - especially handy for mobile and tablet support |
| &show_history=1 | For Zingtree hosted trees only: Show the history of this session at the top of each node. |
| &embed_history=1 | For Embedded trees only: Show the history of this session at the top of each node. |
| &show_breadcrumbs=1 | For Zingtree hosted trees only: Enable the "breadcrumbs" option at the top of each node. |
| &embed_breadcrumbs=1 | For Embedded trees only: Enable the "breadcrumbs" option at the top of each node. |
| &style=panels | Set this to buttons or panels to determine how your tree's buttons are to be displayed. |
| &locale=en | Set the default locale for the date picker. This may need to be used in conjunction with date_format (below). Here is a complete list. |
| &date_format=mm/dd/yy |
Customize the date format from the date picker used by data entry fields. A full list of format options is here. Trick #1: Use an underscore ( _ ) in place of a space character. Trick #2: If you specify mm/dd/yy (I.e. 09/30/2020) or dd/mm/yy (i.e. 30/09/2020), any date input will be validated against those formats. |
| &disable_scroll=1 | Disables the automatic scrolling that occurs when embedding trees into web pages. |
| &keep_vars_on_back=1 | Normally, clicking the Back or Reset buttons in a tree makes all variables revert to their previous state, and deletes new variables. Use this option to keep all variables entered, even if Back or Reset is clicked. |
| &merge_vars_not_fixed=1 | Set this if Merge Variables can be changed during the session. This could be from webhooks, or from data entry forms. |
| &cache_tree=1 | This tells the browser to cache the contents of the tree each time your tree is loaded. May increase performance, but if you make changes to your tree your end-users won't see them for approximately 60 minutes. |
| &google_translate=fr,de,es | Include a Google Translate option in your tree to automatically support foreign languages. In this example, we offer French, Spanish, and German. You can add other 2 letter language codes to the list. The complete list of languages is here. Use &google_translate=* to support ALL language translations that Google offers. |
