How to install live-chat on a Vue.js app?

Last updated on Apr 10, 2024

To integrate Botwit with your Vue.js application, you need to paste the Botwit widget script in your Vue.js application's index.html file.

Here is how to do this:

Step 1. Get your widget script

Your widget script can be found in your Website Inbox settings. Go to Settings -> Inboxes -> Select your Website channel > Configuration tab.

If you haven't created a website inbox yet, you can find the step-by-step instructions here.

Step 2. Copy the script

Copy the script that was created in the code field of the channel.

Step 3. Paste the script here

Open your Vue project and paste the script into the index.html file, right before the closing </body> tag.

<body>
  <noscript>
    <strong
      >We're sorry but <%= htmlWebpackPlugin.options.title %> doesn't work
      properly without JavaScript enabled. Please enable it to continue.</strong
    >
  </noscript>
  <div id="app"></div>
  <!-- built files will be auto injected -->

  <!-- Botwit script goes here -->
  <script>
    (function (d, t) {
      var BASE_URL = "https://example.com";
      var g = d.createElement(t),
        s = d.getElementsByTagName(t)[0];
      g.src = BASE_URL + "/packs/js/sdk.js";
      g.defer = true;
      g.async = true;
      s.parentNode.insertBefore(g, s);
      g.onload = function () {
        window.chatwootSDK.run({
          websiteToken: "yZ7USzaEs7hrwUAHLGwjbxJ1",
          baseUrl: BASE_URL,
        });
      };
    })(document, "script");
  </script>
  <!-- Botwit script goes here -->
</body>

Step 4. Check​

You will be able to see the Botwit widget on the page now. Something like this:

Vue.js, Nuxt.js module
