How to add an AI chat widget to any website

Add the Deskdove AI chat assistant to any website, including Webflow, Shopify and hand-coded sites: paste one script tag before </body>.

One script tag before </body>

Any site that lets you add a script works: paste the one-line snippet just before the closing </body> tag, ideally in a shared footer or template so it's on every page.

  1. Copy your snippet

    Copy the one-line snippet below.

    <script src="https://deskdove.com/widget.js" data-business="your-business" async></script>

  2. Find your footer or template

    Open the file or setting that's shared by every page, such as a footer include, layout template or your site builder's "custom code" or "footer code" setting.

  3. Paste before </body>

    Paste the snippet on the line just before </body>. It loads asynchronously, so it won't slow your page down.

  4. Publish

    Save and publish or deploy your site as usual.

Check it's working

  1. Open your site in a private window

    Use a private or incognito window so you see what a new visitor sees (and no old cache).

  2. Look for the chat button

    The chat launcher appears in the bottom corner of the page within a few seconds.

  3. Send a test message

    Open the chat and send a message, such as "Hi, this is a test".

  4. See it in your Inbox

    Open Inbox in your Deskdove portal. Your test chat shows up there straight away.
