Step 2: Integrating Tawkto chatbot with HTML

After creating your Tawkto account, you’ll receive a code. Simply hover your mouse over the code and right click to copy it. Next, open your HTML file in your preferred editor (like VSCode).

For those that use WordPress

Integrating Tawkto chatbot with WordPress

For WordPress users, integrating Tawkto is just as straightforward. After creating your Tawkto account and copying the provided code, head to your WordPress dashboard. Navigate to “Plugins” and click on “Add New Plugin.” Search for the “Header and Footer” plugin if you don’t already have it. This plugin allows you to insert code within the <head> <body> and <footer> tags. Install and activate the plugin.

Once activated, navigate settings in your WordPress dashboard and over on it, you will see some submenu find WP Headers and Footers and click on it. Look for the option to include code in the header and footer sections. Paste the Tawkto code in the appropriate field (Within the header is recommended), save your changes, and refresh your website and voila! Your Chatbot is now live on your WordPress site!

Additional Tips:

  • While we recommend using the “WP Headers and Footers” plugin for WordPress integration, you can use any plugin that allows you to add code snippets within your website’s head tag.
  • Explore the customization options in your Tawkto dashboard to tailor your Chatbot’s appearance and behavior to suit your preferences.
