Routing Guardrail

• If the user is implementing Contact Center app surfaces inside Zoom client, chain with ../contact-center/SKILL.md.
• If the user needs backend knowledge-base CRUD or automation scripts, chain with ../rest-api/SKILL.md and ../oauth/SKILL.md.
• If the user asks only for website bot embed and campaign controls, stay on web/SKILL.md.
• If the user asks for mobile native wrappers around web chat, route to android/SKILL.md or ios/SKILL.md.

Common Lifecycle Pattern

1. Configure campaign or entry ID in Virtual Agent admin.
2. Initialize SDK in web or WebView container.
3. Wait for readiness (zoomCampaignSdk:ready or waitForReady()) before calling APIs.
4. Register bridge handlers (exitHandler, commonHandler, support_handoff) when native orchestration is needed.
5. Handle conversation lifecycle (engagement_started, engagement_ended) and UI state.
6. End chat (endChat) and clean up listeners.

High-Level Scenarios

• Website campaign launcher with contextual customer attributes.
• Mobile app WebView chat with native close/handoff bridge.
• External URL handling via system browser vs in-app browser policy.
• Knowledge-base sync from external systems using custom API connector.
• Cross-team support flow that escalates from bot to live support with handoff payload.
