# Chat Widget Integration

> Integrate chat widgets into your website with embed codes and advanced implementation options

## Overview

Chat widget integration allows you to seamlessly embed AI-powered chat functionality into your website using generated embed codes and advanced integration methods.

## Embed Code Integration

### Standard Integration

Based on the platform implementation, the chat widget provides:

<CardGroup cols={2}>
  <Card title="JavaScript Embed" icon="code">
    * **Automatic Generation**: Platform generates embed code
    * **Script Tag**: Standard HTML script implementation
    * **Async Loading**: Non-blocking widget loading
    * **Copy-Paste Ready**: Ready-to-use code snippets
  </Card>

  <Card title="Custom Configuration" icon="settings">
    * **Widget Title**: Customizable chat header
    * **Primary Color**: Brand color integration
    * **Position Settings**: Bottom-right or bottom-left
    * **Responsive Design**: Automatic mobile adaptation
  </Card>
</CardGroup>

### Implementation Steps

1. **Configure Widget**: Set title, color, and position in the platform
2. **Generate Code**: Platform automatically creates embed code
3. **Copy Embed Code**: Get the generated JavaScript code
4. **Add to Website**: Paste code before closing `</body>` tag
5. **Test Integration**: Verify widget appears and functions correctly

## Embed Code Structure

### Generated Script

The platform generates embed code similar to:

```html theme={null}
<script>
  (function() {
    var script = document.createElement('script');
    script.src = 'https://your-domain.com/widget/script.js';
    script.async = true;
    script.setAttribute('data-widget-id', 'your-widget-id');
    script.setAttribute('data-title', 'Chat with us');
    script.setAttribute('data-color', '#667EEA');
    script.setAttribute('data-position', 'bottom-right');
    document.head.appendChild(script);
  })();
</script>
```

### Configuration Parameters

* **Widget ID**: Unique identifier for your chat widget
* **Title**: Custom title displayed in chat header
* **Color**: Primary color theme for the widget
* **Position**: Widget placement (bottom-right/bottom-left)
