How to add iMessage Conversation to your website

Embed iMessage Conversation on Your Website

01

Create a iMessage Conversation widget for your website on Common Ninja

First, create a iMessage Conversation widget on Common Ninja. On the widgets catalog, find the iMessage Conversation and enter the Editor.

02

Save the iMessage Conversation widget

When you're done creating the iMessage Conversation widget, click on the Save Changes button at the right top corner of the editor. If you don't have an account on Common Ninja, you'll have to register first.

03

Copy the iMessage Conversation Embed Code

When you're ready to add the iMessage Conversation widget to your website, click the Add To Website button at the top bar of the Editor. On the window that opens, click the Copy Icon to copy the widget embed code. In the next steps, you will paste this code into your website.

04

Paste the code to your Platform website’s HTML field.

Next, go to your Platform website editor and find the HTML field. It is most likely in the form of an HTML/Code widget or module which you can find on the Platform’s editor. Add it to your page, and paste the iMessage Conversation Embed Code you’ve copied before to the HTML field. Save and update, and that’s it, you should have Common Ninja’s iMessage Conversation widget on your Platform website.

05

Alternative Method 1: Through the HTML option in the text’s editing area.

If you can't find the HTML/Code widget or module, there's another way to put Common Ninja’s iMessage Conversation widget on your Platform widget. You can just add the code to a special HTML section in the text editor.

06

Alternative Method 2: Add it directly to your Platform website’s HTML code.

If you're having trouble finding a widget or a special part in your text editor where you can add the Embed Code, you can try a different way to add the iMessage Conversation widget to your Platform website. You can do this by putting it straight into your Platform website's HTML code.

Why Use This Widget

Recreate an Apple Messages thread on any page and keep every part of it editable. Choose who is talking, drop in a profile picture, stack up blue iMessage and green SMS bubbles, break the thread with date separators, attach send times and Read receipts, add Tapbacks, and point individual bubbles at a URL. From there the presentation is yours: one thread or several side by side, carousel or grid, light or Dark Mode, an iPhone frame or none at all, your own background, and full control over width, alignment, and text size. Threads can land fully formed or unfold message by message, complete with a typing bubble, adjustable pauses, looping, and a replay control. Because it renders as live markup rather than an image, it stays crisp on every display, and a wording change never means taking a new screenshot.
