Automatically start chat on page load

We have a chat using embedded services on one of our web pages.  What I would like to be able to do is have the chat window automatically begin at the prechat page when the page loads if there is a given url parameter present.  Is there any way to do this?

So, I ended up figuring this out.  Just in case anyone ever encounters this, here's how I did it.  In the embedded service code snippet, I added a function that used Jquery to find the chat element and click it.  I then called that function in the function that initializes the chat.
