Multi-channel Sharing Widget

You have the possibility to promote your bot on your website thanks to the multi-channel Sharing widget.

This functionality allows you to embed the widget of the bot to your website. The widget allows your end-users either to see the icons of the deployed channels to start a conversation with a bot or see a bot email address to share your email bot with a broad audience.

To deploy the chatbot widget on your website you need to go to the Channels section and click on the Share this bot button:
