Add AI Chatbot to Softr
Put answers about your directory or portal alongside the pages visitors already use.
1. Create your chatbot
Create a Chatbit account, add your website or documents as sources, and test a few questions. Set the welcome message, colors and instructions to match your business. See how to add sources.
2. Copy your embed code
Open your chatbot's Share panel and copy the complete Script snippet. Keep both the configuration and the external script together. See the website setup guide.
3. Add the code to Softr
In app settings, open Custom Code and place the complete Chatbit snippet in the footer area. Use Page Settings for a narrower installation, then publish and test the app.
Platform reference: Softr documentation.
Custom code access depends on your Softr plan. The chatbot does not inherit Softr user groups or record permissions, so use sources appropriate for everyone who can open the bot.
4. Test the published site
Test a public directory page and a signed-in page where applicable. Check the chat beside filters, forms and the mobile menu.
If the button is missing, check that the code is saved on the published site, clear any page cache, and look for blocked requests in your browser. If it appears twice, remove the duplicate installation.
Keep the answers useful
Review the first conversations and update source content where answers are unclear. Include a contact route for questions your bot cannot answer. Learn how to improve responses.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need a platform-specific Chatbit plugin?
The setup above uses the script supplied in Chatbit. Your website platform may require a paid plan or a script-management plugin to allow that code.
Can I remove the chatbot later?
Yes. Remove the snippet from the location where you installed it, publish the change, and clear any page cache. Keep a copy of the code if you plan to add it again.
