How to Setup GoHighLevel Chat Widget?
For GoHighLevel Website
GoHighLevel allows you to add chat widgets to multiple websites or landing pages. But you can’t individually customize them if they’re in one account. Here’s what you need to do.
First, go to the sub-account where you want to add the chat widget. Click “Sites” and choose a website or funnel.
Click the “Settings” tab, then “Enable” the chat widget.
Then go to “Chat Widget.” Toggle “Enable Chat Bubble.” Customize by editing the messages, avatar, chat color, and agency branding.
In addition, you can also add the email field to make sure that you won’t lose that lead. That’s it! The chat widget will be available on the websites or funnels where you activated them.
For WordPress Website
You can get a free WordPress plugin and make it available to your web pages. First, you’ll need to log in to your WordPress account. Then go to the “Plugin” tab and click “Add New.”
Under the search plugins, type in “Lead Connector.” Click “Install Now” and then “Activate.”
After that, select the LeadConnector app that will appear on the sidebar. Return to your GoHighLevel tab for the API Key. You’ll see it under the “Business Profile” under the “Settings” of your sub-account. Copy that and paste it inside the WordPress Lead Connector plugin.
Click save. Put a tick on the “Enable chat widget.” Then press Pull and Save.
Once you refresh your web page, you’ll see the chat icon in the bottom right corner. Every message on the chat widget will reflect inside the “Conversation” tab. So you can answer inside your dashboard right away.
For Other Website Builder
The steps differ from adding a chat widget on WordPress. But it’s still super easy with GoHighLevel.
Click “Get Code” in the “Chat Widget” tab. GoHighLevel will provide a body code to insert the website editor software. You can paste the code into the “Custom Code” section inside the settings or the site builder.
For Automation
GoHighLevel allows you to take things further and do more with your chat widget.
Automated Response and Internal Notifications
Ensure you receive your website visitors’ messages anytime and inform your team members about them. You can create automation that triggers a customized notification when someone leaves a message.
SMS Appointment Booking
You can also initiate a discovery call or increase your chance of turning your website visitors into customers or hot leads.
GoHighLevel allows you to send a message that varies whether their response is positive or negative. You can also add links so they can easily book calls with you.
For Your SaaS Business
The last place to add the chat widget is inside your clients’ dashboards. Choose your agency’s account where you’ll receive the messages. Copy the numbers in the URL after “location.”
Paste it somewhere first because you’ll need it later.
Return to the agency view and click “Settings.” Then click “Company.”
Scroll down to “Custom Javascript.” copy the first HTML code from the Web Chat Widget – Advanced Configurations + Public API/Events page and paste it there.
Change the location ID to the numbers you copy from the URL earlier.
Click “Update Company.” and refresh your page. You’ll now see the chat widget inside your GoHighLevel account. Now all your clients can use this to connect with you, start a conversation, or ask questions for support.
