Getting Started with WidgetBot

To get started with WidgetBot, first you must invite the bot to your server.

Adding the Bot

For best performance, choose one of our clusters:

• Cluster 1 (cl1)
• Cluster 2 (cl2)
• Cluster 3 (cl3)
• Cluster 4 (cl4)
• Cluster 5 (cl5)

Alternatively, if you want beta features such as letting guests mention users and use custom emotes, use the beta version. Note that this may have bugs.

After you add one of the bots to your server, you need to pick a format to use in your website.
You can choose between Crate and one of our inline formats.

Formats

• Crate (recommended): Shows a little chat button in the corner of your website. It shows message notifications and provides an API. Info, Tutorial, Documentation

Inline formats

These let you put a chat box in your site you can change the size, etc.

• Normal iframe: Use this when you can't use JavaScript. It does not provide access to the embed-api. Tutorial
• html-embed: A lightweight iframe wrapper which provides access to the embed-api. Requires JavaScript. Tutorial, Documentation
• react-embed: Provides access to the embed as a React component, and lets you use the embed-api. Documentation

Choose one of the formats to continue the tutorial and learn about adding the embed to your website.
