How to add Nudge Button to a ButterCMS website

Embed Nudge Button on ButterCMS

01

Create a Nudge Button component for ButterCMS on Common Ninja

First, create a ButterCMS Nudge Button component on Common Ninja. On the components catalog, find the Nudge Button and enter the Editor.

02

Save the Nudge Button component

When you're done creating the Nudge Button component, 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 Nudge Button Embed Code

When you're ready to add the Nudge Button component to your ButterCMS 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 component embed code. In the next steps, you will paste this code into your ButterCMS website.

04

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

Next, go to your ButterCMS 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 ButterCMS’s editor. Add it to your page, and paste the Nudge Button Embed Code you’ve copied before to the HTML field. Save and update, and that’s it, you should have Common Ninja’s Nudge Button component on your ButterCMS 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 Nudge Button component on your ButterCMS component. You can just add the code to a special HTML section in the text editor.

06

Alternative Method 2: Add it directly to your ButterCMS 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 Nudge Button component to your ButterCMS website. You can do this by putting it straight into your ButterCMS website's HTML code.

Why Use This Widget

Use the Nudge Button widget when you already know which action matters most on a page and you want it to stand out without aggressive popups. A subtle animated motion draws the eye just enough to remind visitors that this is the next logical step, whether that is starting a trial, booking a call, or adding to cart. Unlike auto opening overlays, the button respects user control while still improving visibility. This works well on pricing pages, product details, and lead capture sections where users often hesitate. By focusing attention gently on the right call to action, you can increase clicks and conversions without harming the overall experience.
