Requirements

  • A GoDaddy website (Website Builder or WordPress)
  • A Demeterics AI Chat widget (get your widget key from the AI Chat dashboard)

Note: Integration methods differ between GoDaddy Website Builder and GoDaddy WordPress hosting. Choose the right section below.

GoDaddy Website Builder

Step 1: Get Your Widget Code

  1. Log into your Demeterics dashboard
  2. Go to AI Chat
  3. Click on your widget
  4. Copy your Agent Key (e.g., DEM-A4E4OWSVGHBN)

Step 2: Access Your Website Builder

  1. Log into your GoDaddy account
  2. Go to My Products
  3. Scroll down to Websites + Marketing
  4. Click Manage next to your website
  5. Click Edit Website or Edit Site

Step 3: Add an HTML Section

  1. Go to the page where you want to add the widget (or your site-wide footer template)
  2. Click Add Section (usually a + button)
  3. Search for "HTML" or "Code" in the section types
  4. Select HTML or Embed Code section
  5. Place it where you want (recommend bottom of page for site-wide footer)

Step 4: Paste Your Widget Code

  1. Click on the HTML section you just added
  2. You'll see a text editor or code input box
  3. Paste this code:
<!-- Demeterics AI Chat Widget -->
<script src="https://demeterics.com/widget/embed.js?k=DEM-YOUR-KEY-HERE" async></script>
<dem-agent name="default" title="Need help?" state="minimized"></dem-agent>
  1. Replace DEM-YOUR-KEY-HERE with your actual Agent Key
  2. Click Save or Done

Step 5: Make Widget Site-Wide (Optional)

To show the widget on all pages:

  1. Add the HTML section to your footer template (if your theme supports it)
  2. Or add the HTML section to each page individually
  3. Publish your site

Note: GoDaddy Website Builder has limitations on global code injection. You may need to add the widget to individual pages.

Step 6: Publish Your Site

  1. Click Publish in the top right corner
  2. Visit your live site to see the widget

GoDaddy WordPress Hosting

If you're using WordPress on GoDaddy, follow our WordPress Integration Guide instead.

Quick summary:

  1. Install the "Insert Headers and Footers" plugin
  2. Add your widget code to the Footer section
  3. Save and visit your site

Customization Options

Change the Widget Title

<dem-agent name="default" title="Chat with us!"></dem-agent>

Use Different Prompts on Different Pages

If you've created multiple prompts in Demeterics:

Homepage:

<dem-agent name="home" title="Welcome!"></dem-agent>

Product pages:

<dem-agent name="sales" title="Product Questions?"></dem-agent>

Support pages:

<dem-agent name="support" title="How can we help?"></dem-agent>

Add different embed codes with different name attributes on different pages.

Start the Widget Open

<dem-agent name="default" title="Need help?" state="open"></dem-agent>

Embedded Widget (Inline on Page)

To place the widget inline (not floating):

<dem-agent mode="embedded" name="default" title="Support Assistant"></dem-agent>

Troubleshooting

Widget doesn't appear

Check these:

  1. Did you publish your site after adding the HTML section?
  2. Is your widget key correct?
  3. Is your GoDaddy domain added to Allowed Domains in your Demeterics widget settings?
  4. Is the HTML section visible on the page? (Check in edit mode)
  5. Clear your browser cache and hard refresh (Ctrl+Shift+R / Cmd+Shift+R)

"Domain not allowed for this agent"

  1. Go to your Demeterics dashboard → AI Chat → Your Widget
  2. Add your GoDaddy domain to Allowed Domains:
    • Temporary GoDaddy domain: yoursite.godaddysites.com
    • Custom domain: yoursite.com (or www.yoursite.com)
    • Add both if you use both
  3. Save and refresh your website

Widget appears multiple times

If the widget shows up twice:

  1. Check if you added the HTML section to both a page and a footer template
  2. Remove the duplicate HTML section
  3. Keep only one instance per page

Widget looks cut off or mispositioned

GoDaddy Website Builder may have CSS conflicts:

  1. Make sure you placed the HTML section at the bottom of your page/footer
  2. Try adjusting the section's position or size in the builder
  3. If issues persist, email support@demeterics.com with your site URL

Code section disappears after saving

Some GoDaddy Website Builder themes have issues with custom code:

  1. Try using a different section type (some themes have "Code Block" or "Embed" options)
  2. Make sure you're clicking Save before exiting the editor
  3. Test with a simple HTML snippet first to confirm the theme supports custom code

If custom code still doesn't work, contact GoDaddy support to confirm your plan and theme support it.

GoDaddy Website Builder Limitations

Important: GoDaddy Website Builder has some limitations:

  1. No global footer injection: You may need to add the widget to each page individually
  2. Theme restrictions: Some themes don't support custom HTML sections
  3. Plan requirements: Certain GoDaddy plans may restrict custom code

Alternative: If you need more control, consider using GoDaddy WordPress hosting instead, which offers more flexibility.

GoDaddy Online Store

If you're using GoDaddy Online Store (eCommerce):

Create product-specific prompts:

  1. Create a "product" prompt in Demeterics with product FAQs
  2. Create a "checkout" prompt for order assistance
  3. Use different name attributes on product vs. checkout pages

Example for product pages:

<dem-agent name="product" title="Product Questions?"></dem-agent>

Example for checkout:

<dem-agent name="checkout" title="Need help checking out?"></dem-agent>
