How to Create an Embedded Live Chat Widget

Modified on: Thu, 2 Apr, 2026 at 3:16 AM

Overview

The Embedded Live Chat Widget allows you to place your chat experience directly within your website or funnel content, instead of using the traditional floating (sticky) chat bubble.

This helps you:

  • Engage visitors at high-intent sections (CTAs, forms, pricing pages)

  • Create a seamless, native website experience

  • Improve conversion and lead capture rates

Mobile Responsiveness

    • Mobile

    • Tablet

    • Desktop
