How to add Messenger Conversation to your website

Embed Messenger Conversation on Your Website

01

Create a Messenger Conversation widget for your website on Common Ninja

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

02

Save the Messenger Conversation widget

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

When you're ready to add the Messenger 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 Messenger Conversation Embed Code you’ve copied before to the HTML field. Save and update, and that’s it, you should have Common Ninja’s Messenger 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 Messenger 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 Messenger 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

Rebuild a Messenger chat on your page and keep hold of every part of it. Set the contact name and the status line beneath it, add a profile picture, write as many inbound and outbound messages as the story needs, split them with date labels, mark them sent, delivered or read, stick a reaction on the ones that earn it, and send any bubble off to a URL. How it all appears is a separate set of choices: a lone chat or a wall of them, arranged as a carousel, a slider or a grid; a light or dark palette; a phone bezel or none at all; your own background and bubble colour; and width, alignment and text size to match the page. Chats can be painted in full or dealt out one message at a time, with a typing indicator, a delay you choose, looping and a replay button. None of it is a picture, so it holds its edge at any size and an edit takes seconds.
