Enhanced User Context: Add Current Page URL Passing to Chat/Apollo AI

I would like to request a straightforward method to automatically pass the current webpage URL to the chat system and Apollo AI when a visitor initiates a conversation.

Current situation:
When visitors use the chat feature, support agents and Apollo AI have no automatic way to know which specific page the visitor is viewing. This creates friction as agents must often ask visitors for this information manually, interrupting the flow of assistance.

Requested solution: Implement a simple API method that would allow developers to pass the current page URL as context data when a chat is initiated. This context would be visible to both human agents and Apollo AI to provide more relevant, page-specific assistance.

Implementation suggestion: A simple method such as setPageContext(url) that could be called when the chat loads, similar to how the existing visitor tagging works, but specifically designed to enhance the chat experience by making the URL immediately visible in the agent interface.

Benefits:

• Reduced need for agents to ask "Which page are you on?"
• More immediate, contextual responses from Apollo AI
• Improved first-contact resolution rates
• Enhanced visitor experience with more relevant assistance
• Valuable analytics on which pages generate the most support inquiries

This enhancement would significantly improve both the efficiency of human agents and the intelligence of automated responses from Apollo AI by providing critical context from the moment a conversation begins.
