Before your visitors can start chatting with you, you’ll need to add the widget to your site by embedding the widget script in the HTML source code of one or more pages.
To add the live chat widget to a web page
- From the dashboard, select Settings > Widget, then click the Getting Started tab.
- Copy the embed script, as shown in the example below:
- In the source code of the web page, paste the embed script between the page's head tags.
You can paste it either right after the opening <head> tag or right before the closing </head>.
- Save and publish the page.
The widget should be visible after reloading the page in a browser.

can you only have one widget per Chat instance?
Hi Megan,
You can only have widget key but there are ways to support multiple brands in one account.

You don't need two separate accounts, use the same account key from your first account in the SDK. If you need help with this, please email chat@zendesk.com

Hi, I've a custom field on user_fields and I want to show the chat only for some users who have a true answer for this field, I got the answer by zendesk api.
How can I show or hide chat button?
Or Enable and Disable Chat option?
Here is the API to hide the widget: https://api.zopim.com/files/meshim/widget/controllers/LiveChatAPI-js.html#hideAll
If you are using the new integrated Chat experience in the Web Widget, you will need to use the following API: https://developer.zendesk.com/embeddables/docs/widget/core#hide
If you need further assistance on using the APIs, please email chat@zendesk.com

Is there another snippet for us Integrated chat users. We are on Enterprise; when I try to add the snippet from the Widget setup, it generates a fatal error.
@Jason I see you have a ticket open with our support team, they will get back to you shortly.
Hi,
On my mobile website, I don't want to show the floating chat widget (as it will conflict with other elements), but to place it as an item in the hamburger menu. Is there any way to do that? and is it possible under the Team plan?
Thanks
Hi Tien,
It is possible and available across all paid plans, you need to use the Javascript APIs to show/hide the widget based on the user tapping the menu item.
You can get more information on the JS APIs here:
https://api.zopim.com/files/meshim/widget/controllers/LiveChatAPI-js.html
Look at the ones regarding hideAll and window.toggle
