🎛️ Overview of Your Widgets
This is your widget command centre. Here you can see every chat bubble you’ve created.- Why have more than one? You might want a “Sales Bot” for your pricing page and a “Tech Support” bot for your help centre. Here you manage them all.
- Key Actions per Widget:
- 📋 Copy Script: Grab the magic code to paste onto your website.
- ⚙️ Configure: The fun part. Tweak colours, messages, and behaviour (we’ll get to this in a mo).
- 🗑️ Delete: Bin it if you don’t need it.
🎨 Customising Your Widget (The Art Class)
Click on the gear icon ⚙️ to enter the configuration lab. Let’s make this widget truly yours.1. The Basics
- AI Agent: Which brain is powering this chat? Select one of your agents from the list.
- Languages: Does your site speak English, Spanish, and French? Tell the widget so it doesn’t look silly.
2. Floating Message (The Hook 🪝)
Don’t let your bot hide! Set a catchy message that pops up above the icon.- Boring: “Chat here.”
- Better: “Hi there! Need help with your order? 👋”
⚠️ Heads up: Add translations for all your languages. You don’t want Spanish visitors seeing a blank bubble!
3. Look & Feel (Dress to Impress)
- Header: Choose what shows at the top. Just a title? Your logo? An avatar of a robot wearing a monocle? It’s up to you.
- Colours: Use the eyedropper tool 🖊️ to match your brand exactly.
- Main Colour: The message bubbles and send button.
- Text Colour: Make sure it’s readable! Yellow text on a white background is a crime against eyesight.
4. The Gatekeeper: Data Collection Forms 📝
Do you want to know who you’re talking to before they start chatting? Enable the Form.- Ask for Name, Email, or Phone.
- Make fields “Required” if you’re strict, or “Optional” if you’re chill.
- GDPR / Privacy: Add a link to your policy so you stay legal. 👮♂️
5. Smart Data Collection (Advanced 🤓)
This is for the tech wizards. The widget can peek into your website’s data (localStorage) to see if the user is already logged in.
- How it helps: If logged in, the widget can say “Hello, John!” instead of asking for his name again.
- Configuration: You tell us the “Key” (e.g.,
user_email) and we grab the value automatically.
🛠️ Extra Tweaks & Layout
Fine-tune the experience:- Position: Left or Right? (Right is standard, Left is for rebels).
- Full Screen: Want the chat to take over the whole mobile screen? Toggle this ON.
- Embed (DOM Element): Instead of a floating bubble, stick the chat permanently inside a
<div>on your page. Great for “Contact Us” pages. - Custom CSS: If you know code, you can write your own styles here to override ours. The sky’s the limit.
🎨 Custom CSS — The Designer’s Guide
Are the preset colours and options too limiting? The Custom CSS field gives you full control over the widget’s look. Here you can write CSS rules that tweak styles, override default classes, or even add animations. Where to find it: Open the widget configuration (⚙️ icon), expand the “Custom CSS” section, and type your code in the text area.⚙️ How it works under the hood
What you write here isn’t magic — it’s quite predictable once you get it:- Your CSS is saved alongside the widget configuration.
- When the widget loads on the visitor’s website, your CSS is injected as a
<style>tag inside the widget itself. - It loads after our default styles, so your rules have the final say (they win ties).
🎯 Important — Scope: Custom CSS only affects the inside of the widget chat, not the rest of your web page. You can’t use it to restyle your site; only the widget. And vice versa: your site’s styles don’t leak into the widget, so you start from a clean canvas.
💪 My rule isn’t applying? Because our base styles are specific, sometimes your rule “ties” and doesn’t win. If a change has no effect, add!importantto the end of the property (e.g.border-radius: 0 !important;) or use a more specific selector.
🧩 Selectors you can use
These are the real “tags” of the widget’s parts. Target them with your CSS:| Selector | What it is |
|---|---|
.widget_chat | The root container of the whole widget |
.widget_chat_window | The chat window when it’s open |
.widget_chat_window_header | The top header (avatar, title, buttons) |
.widget_chat_window_body | The area where messages appear |
.widget_row_message | Each message row (use .widget_row_message_end for the user’s) |
.widget_message_bot | The Agent’s message bubbles |
.widget_message_content | The text inside each bubble |
.widget_message_botones / .widget_message_boton | The quick-reply buttons |
.widget_chat_window_footer | The bottom bar where you type |
#inputMessage | The text field for typing the message |
.widget_form_submit | The send button |
.widget_chat_formulario | The data-collection form (name, email, etc.) |
.widget_chat_formulario_body_input_asterisk | The red asterisk on required fields |
.widget_chat_window_footer_legends | The “Generated by lovi.ai” signature in the footer |
💡 Practical examples
Squarer bot bubbles with a shadow:
🧪 Always test it in the Playground (see below) before publishing. A forgotten } can break several styles at once.
🧪 Test Drive (Playground)
Before you paste the code on your live site, give it a whirl in the Playground.- Does the colour clash?
- Is the Agent being polite?
- Does the form work?
