Chat Widget
Website Chat Widget Integration Guide
Let me help you add a user-friendly chat widget to your website that enables visitors to communicate directly through your site's interface. The integration process is straightforward and will provide your website with built-in messaging capabilities.
Installation Instructions
To implement the chat widget on your website, you'll need to add a single line of code to your website's HTML. Let me walk you through the process:
First, open your website's HTML file in your preferred text editor. Look for the closing </body> tag - this is typically at the very end of your HTML file. The chat widget script needs to be placed right before this closing tag to ensure everything on your page loads properly before the chat functionality is initialized.
Add this line of code just before the </body> tag:
You'll need to replace CONFIG_ID with your unique configuration identifier. This identifier is specific to your account and ensures the chat widget connects to your messaging system correctly.
Here's a complete example of how your HTML file should look with the chat widget implemented:
What to Expect After Installation
Once you've added the script to your website, the chat widget will automatically create a chat button in the bottom right corner of your website. When visitors click this button, it expands into a full chat window where they can start a conversation. The widget remains in a fixed position as users scroll through your pages, ensuring it's always accessible.
The chat interface adapts automatically to different screen sizes, so it works seamlessly on both desktop and mobile devices. On smaller screens, the widget adjusts its size and position to maintain a good user experience without getting in the way of your content.
Testing Your Implementation
After adding the widget to your site, it's important to verify that everything is working correctly. Try accessing your website from different devices and browsers to ensure the chat widget appears and functions properly. Click the chat button to open the interface and test sending a message. The widget should load quickly and respond smoothly to interactions.
If you don't see the chat widget appearing on your site, first verify that you've replaced CONFIG_ID with your actual configuration identifier. Then make sure the script tag is properly placed before the closing body tag and that there are no typing errors in the code.
This chat widget provides your visitors with an immediate way to reach out to you without leaving your website or using external messaging apps. The integrated approach helps maintain a professional appearance while making communication as convenient as possible for your site visitors.
