Step-by-Step Integration Process
Embedding Live Chat tools in 
ev Service Apps
In most cases, you embed your Live Chat tool in in three easy steps:
- Step 1: Check the list of requirements.
- Step 2: Copy the JavaScript code of the Chat widget.
- Step 3: Embed the JavaScript code in an app to display the Chat widget.
Step 1: Check the list of requirements.
- You must have a user account for your Live Chat tool as well as the relevant login and password. If this is not the case, use the form to create an account. Validate and activate your new account by clicking the email link that will be sent to your email address.
Note: If you do not receive the activation link, check the Spam folder of your email system.
Step 2: Copy the JavaScript code of the Chat widget.
1. Log in to your Live Chat account.
2. Copy the entire JavaScript code provided in the interface. This is generally found in the Administration module.
Step 3: Embed the JavaScript code in an app to display the Chat widget.
PasteJavaScriptCode
1. Go to and open the app you want.
2. Use a HTML Script widget to display the Chat widget:
- Click
in the Objects pane. Open the Basic category and click and drag the HTML Script widget to the Design pane.
You can place the HTML Script widget anywhere on the page because the Chat widget will appear by default at the bottom right of the user's screen. Nevertheless, to find it quickly without searching for the widget by name, you can insert it at the bottom of the page.
- Rename the widget so you can identify it easily.
- Paste the JavaScript code obtained in step 2 in Theme > Footer > Footer and check the Display box. Paste the code of the Chat widget in the Header or Footer section instead of the HTML Code field. This enables the Chat widget to be displayed without being restricted by the height of the HTML Script widget and to appear on all app pages.
Note: In some cases, you can also use the Secured Html widget and paste the JavaScript code directly in the Html Code field.
3. Click 
to switch to preview mode and check the visual layout and workability of the Chat widget.
