How to add Messenger Chat to a ChurchDev church website

Embed Messenger Chat on ChurchDev

01

Create a Messenger Chat widget for ChurchDev on Common Ninja

First, create a ChurchDev Messenger Chat widget on Common Ninja. On the widgets catalog, find the Messenger Chat and enter the Editor.

02

Save the Messenger Chat widget

When you're done creating the Messenger Chat 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 Messenger Chat Embed Code

When you're ready to add the Messenger Chat widget to your ChurchDev church 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 ChurchDev church website.

04

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

Next, go to your ChurchDev church 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 ChurchDev’s editor. Add it to your page, and paste the Messenger Chat Embed Code you’ve copied before to the HTML field. Save and update, and that’s it, you should have Common Ninja’s Messenger Chat widget on your ChurchDev church 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 Messenger Chat widget on your ChurchDev 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 ChurchDev church 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 Messenger Chat widget to your ChurchDev church website. You can do this by putting it straight into your ChurchDev church website's HTML code.

Why Use This Widget

Use the Messenger Chat widget when you want to give visitors a direct, familiar way to contact you from any page. Instead of forcing users to search for a contact page or fill in a long form, they can click once and start a conversation inside Messenger, on desktop or mobile. This makes it easier to answer pre sale questions, resolve doubts, and keep leads engaged in real time. It also keeps your communication history in one place, so you can follow up later without losing context. For businesses that already use Messenger with customers, this widget connects your site and your existing support workflow in a simple, low friction way.
