You can also pass or override the chatbot UI configuration +from the parent site via the following mechanisms: + +1. **Config Object.** The parent configuration config object (either from +the [config.json](./config.json) file or passed via the `loadlexconfig` +event) contains the `iframeConfig` field which is passed to the chatbot +UI.
