Step 3: Create a Container for Your Chatbot Widget

Before embedding the code into your Webflow site, you need to create a container to display the widget. This ensures the widget appears in the correct location on your website and doesn't stretch across the entire page width.

  1. To create a container, log into your Webflow account and access your dashboard.

  2. On your Webflow dashboard, locate your website projects, hover over the one you want to add the chatbot to, and click Open Designer. Webflow Open Designer

  3. On the designer page, click the file icon (Pages) at the top left corner of the Webflow site designer and choose the page where you want to embed the chatbot. Webflow Select Page

  4. After selecting the page, click the Plus button (Add elements) at the top left corner of the designer screen to view a list of available elements.

  5. Drag the Section element to the area of the page where you want to place your chatbot.

  6. Drag a Container element into the Section.

  7. Drag a Div element into the Container and adjust the Div's size to ensure the bot is contained within it and doesn't span the entire page width. Webflow Add Div

  8. Scroll down the list of elements and drag the Embed element into the Div on the Webflow canvas. Webflow Add Embed

  9. Select and double-click the Embed element to open the HTML Embed code editor.

  10. Paste the Chat Data chatbot embed code from Step 2 and click Save & Close. Webflow Paste Embed Code If everything is set up correctly, you should see a preview of the chatbot in the live preview of your Webflow website within the designer.
