A hosted page is a chat page that help.ai serves for you, at your-link.help.chat. Share it with a link, an email or a QR code, with no change to your website.
Two kinds of hosted page#
A website widget's page is a handy place to try the widget, or to share it before it's on your site. When the page itself is what you share, pick Hosted page under Channel as you create the deployment.
Open the page#
Every website widget and hosted page deployment has a page at its Link, filled in from the name when you create it.
- Select Open on the deployment's row in Deployments, or Preview (Open page for a hosted page) at the top of the deployment. The page shows your saved changes, so select Save changes first.
- The Install tab shows the full address under Hosted page, with a copy button.
- The deployment must be Live. Otherwise the page says nothing is published at that address.
Change the address#
- Open the deployment, and under Settings → Basics, edit the Link.
- Select Save changes.
Changing it breaks links you already shared, so pick something short your customers will recognize. A Link:
- has 3 to 63 characters: lowercase letters, numbers and single dashes, such as
pricing-chat - can't be
www - must be free. Portals and deployments share these addresses, and each one can be used only once. If it's in use, you'll see "This address is already taken."
Make a hosted page your own#
A Hosted page deployment's Settings tab has these settings:
You can add up to 100 navigation links and 100 link cards. A link with any field filled in needs a Label.
Fields you leave empty keep help.ai's defaults.
The chat itself, from welcome messages to features, comes from the Chat widget tab. On the page, the chat follows the page's light or dark mode.
Show the page inside your website#
Turn on Embed in an iframe (Settings → Embedding on a hosted page, Settings → Placement on a website widget) and select Save changes. The Install tab then gives you Embed with an iframe code.
Without it, a hosted page's Install tab has ES module embed, Classic defer embed and NPM (React / build pipeline) snippets, which place the chat as a block inside your own page.
If you set Allowed websites and the page or Preview can't chat, add the page's own address, such as https://pricing-chat.help.chat, to the list. See Secure a deployment: websites, limits and history.
