The Plural Web Widget lets you embed your avatar directly into any website as an interactive chat interface. Visitors see a chat bubble in a corner of the page; clicking it opens a floating window where your avatar speaks and listens just as it would on a dedicated Plural URL. No coding knowledge is required to configure or deploy the widget.

​
What Is the Web Widget?

The Web Widget is a customizable chat launcher that you style inside Plural’s designer, then add to your website by pasting a single code snippet into your page’s HTML. With the widget in place, your site visitors can:
  • Ask your avatar questions and receive spoken or text responses.
  • Navigate your conversation flow through buttons, menus, and voice input.
  • Get real-time assistance, product information, or guided experiences — all without leaving your website.

​
Customizing the Widget

Open the Web Widget designer from the left sidebar inside Plural. The designer is divided into four settings groups:
  • Plural Avatar Link — paste your Plural Avatar URL here.
  • Avatar Live Link — choose the live link associated with your avatar.
  • Widget Position — place the widget on the left or right side of the screen.
  • Widget Hint Position — set where the hint tooltip appears: left, right, top, or bottom.
  • Chat Bubble Color — choose the background color of the circular launcher button.
  • Chat Bubble Icon URL — provide a URL to a custom icon (PNG, JPG, SVG, or WebP) to replace the default launcher graphic.
  • Chat Hint Title — enter the tooltip text visitors see before they click (e.g., “Click here to chat”).
  • Hint Background Color — set the tooltip background color.
  • Hint Text Color — set the tooltip text color.
  • Chat Widget Title — enter the header text shown when the widget is open (e.g., “Plural Assistant”).
  • Chat Widget Color — set the header background color.
  • Chat Widget Text Color — set the header text color.
  • Chat Widget Height — define the open widget height in pixels.
  • Chat Widget Width — define the open widget width in pixels.
  • Chat Widget Border Radius — set the corner rounding of the widget panel in pixels.

​
Embedding the Widget on Your Website

1

Finish customizing

Complete all settings in the Web Widget designer until the preview looks the way you want.
2

Copy the embed code

The embed code snippet is shown in the bottom-right corner of the designer page. Click to copy it.
3

Paste into your website

Open your website’s HTML source and paste the code snippet inside the <body> tag of any page where you want the widget to appear. Save and publish your page.
Paste the embed code just before the closing </body> tag to ensure the widget loads after the rest of your page content and does not slow down initial page rendering.
