Implement Chat Widget

This page guides you through the implementation alternatives of the Ebbot Chat widget.

Implement the Chat widget script on your website

To implement the Ebbot Chat widget on your website, copy the JavaScript snippet directly from the Ebbot Chat platform. Navigate to Chat Widget > Settings in the sidebar menu to find the snippet. ​The snippet includes a unique identifier for your specific widget. If you manage multiple chat agents or chatbots, ensure you have selected the correct one from the dropdown menu in the upper-left corner of the platform before copying the script.

<script>
    window.Ebbot = {
      botId: '',
      ovh: true
    };
</script>
<script>!function(t){var e="init-js-widget";if(!t.getElementById(e)){var i=t.createElement("script");i.id=e,i.src="https://storage.gra.cloud.ovh.net/v1/AUTH_fc1ba5ae6eb64e10a8c0b2499d0e8ca9/production/ebbot-web/init.js?t="+Math.random(),t.querySelector("body").appendChild(i)}}(document);</script>

Implement embedded layout variants of the Chat widget

By default, the Ebbot Chat widget appears as a floating bubble. You can change this behavior to render the chat as a static element within your website's layout, such as a Hero section, by modifying the initialization script.

1. Update the Configuration Script

Add the variant property to your window.Ebbot object. Assign it the value 'hero' or 'embedded' depending on your design needs.

JavaScript

window.Ebbot = {
  botId: 'YOUR_BOT_ID',
  ovh: true, 
  variant: 'hero' // Use 'hero' or 'embedded'
}

2. Create the Target Container

Place an HTML element with the ID ebbot-chat-root at the specific location in your site's structure where the chat should appear.

HTML

<div id="ebbot-chat-root"></div>

Note: When a variant is specified, the standard floating widget is disabled. The chat interface will only render inside the defined #ebbot-chat-root container on that page.
