How to Add a Chatbot to Google Sites

Copy your chat link

In your BotDesk dashboard, open Install and copy your Chat link.

Insert a button

In Google Sites, open the page you want, click Insert, then Button.

Name it and paste the link

Name it something like "Chat with us", paste your chat link, and click Insert.

Publish

Click Publish. Visitors who tap the button get your full chat on its own page, with the same answers, and you get their name and number the same way.

Google Sites has no place for that code

Google Sites doesn't let you add code that runs on every page. Its only option, Insert, then Embed, then Embed code, puts code inside a separate box on one page, and Google runs that box from its own web address, not yours.

From inside that box the chat can't float in the corner, and it won't answer either: for your security, your bot only chats on the website addresses you allow. So we don't support the floating chat on Google Sites. We'd rather tell you now than have you find out from a broken chat.

What you can do instead

• Add a button that opens your chat link. In your BotDesk dashboard, open Install and copy your Chat link. In Google Sites, click Insert, then Button, name it something like "Chat with us", paste the link and click Insert. Visitors who tap it get your full chat on its own page, with the same answers, lead capture and booking.
• Use a website builder that allows site-wide code. WordPress, Wix (Premium), Squarespace (Core and up), Webflow (paid), Shopify, GoHighLevel and classic hosting all work. See every install guide.
• Ask us. If your setup is unusual, email hello@botdesk.studio and we'll tell you honestly whether BotDesk fits.
