Integrate the TAU Widget into your website in minutes.
Installation
Installation in 3 steps
1. Add this code before </body>
<script>
window.taubotConfig = {
appId: 'YOUR_APP_ID' // Replace with your appId
};
(function() {
var loadWidget = function() {
var script = document.createElement('script');
script.type = 'text/javascript';
script.async = true;
script.src = 'https://app.taubot.ai/widget/widget.js';
document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0].appendChild(script);
};
if (document.readyState === 'complete') {
loadWidget();
} else {
window.addEventListener('load', loadWidget);
}
})();
</script>2. Replace YOUR_APP_ID
Swap YOUR_APP_ID with your assistant's unique identifier, available in the TAU dashboard under Widget Settings.
3. Test and publish
Preview your site to see the widget in action, then publish your changes.
Custom installation
Example with the most commonly used parameters:
window.taubotConfig = {
appId: 'YOUR_APP_ID',
// Button appearance
chatbotButtonBackground: '#4834D4',
chatbotButtonForeground: '#FFFFFF',
chatbotButtonSize: 60,
showChatbotButton: true,
// Positioning
chatbotButtonBottom: 20,
chatbotButtonRight: 20,
// Behavior
autoOpen: false,
mode: 'default', // 'default' or 'cool'
defaultRoute: 'home', // 'home' or 'chat'
defaultMessage: 'Hi! How can I help you?',
closeChatOnOutsideClick: false,
// Dimensions
chatWidth: 400,
maxChatHeight: 700,
// WhatsApp
enableWhatsApp: false,
whatsAppNumber: '+15551234567',
whatsAppMessage: 'Hi! I came from your website and need help.'
};You don't need to define all parameters. The widget works perfectly with just the appId. See the full parameter reference.
CDN and loading
The widget is served from the official CDN at app.taubot.ai, ensuring maximum performance and automatic security updates.
Asynchronous loading (recommended)
The default method uses asynchronous loading so it doesn't block page rendering:
(function() {
var loadWidget = function() {
var script = document.createElement('script');
script.type = 'text/javascript';
script.async = true;
script.src = 'https://app.taubot.ai/widget/widget.js';
document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0].appendChild(script);
};
if (document.readyState === 'complete') {
loadWidget();
} else {
window.addEventListener('load', loadWidget);
}
})();Direct loading
For specific cases where synchronous loading is required:
<script src="https://app.taubot.ai/widget/widget.js"></script>Direct loading may impact page performance. Use only when necessary.
