Text Us widget

Add a Text Us widget to your website so visitors can start a text conversation with your firm, with the setup steps to get the widget live quickly

Written by Dustin Belliston

What is the Text Us widget?

The Text Us widget is an embeddable button you can add to your website that lets visitors start a text conversation with you. When someone clicks it, they're prompted to send a text message that goes straight to your inbox. It's a frictionless way to get people off your website and into a real conversation.


Customization

You can tailor the widget to fit your brand and compliance needs:

  • Widget color - Match the button to your brand colors

  • Custom response message - Set the message visitors see after they reach out

  • Disclosures - Add any compliance disclosures your business requires

  • TCPA opt-in language - Built-in consent language to cover opt-in requirements


Setting it up

Grab the widget code snippet from your workspace settings, then add it to your website. Here's how to do it on a couple of popular platforms:


Wix

Step 1. Log in to Wix

Head over to your Wix dashboard.

Step 2. Open Settings

Click Settings on the left-hand panel.

Step 3. Go to Custom Code

Scroll down and click Custom Code.

Step 4. Add the code snippet

Click Add Code under the Head section, then paste your Text Us widget code snippet.

Step 5. Apply your changes

Click Apply to save.

Note: It can take a few minutes for the widget to appear on your live site.


WordPress (WPCode plugin)

The easiest way to add the widget to WordPress is with the free WPCode plugin.

Step 1. Install the WPCode plugin

In your WordPress admin dashboard, go to Plugins > Add New and search for WPCode. Install and activate the plugin.

Step 2. Add a new snippet

Go to Code Snippets > Header & Footer in your WordPress sidebar.

Step 3. Paste the widget code

Paste your Text Us widget code snippet into the Header section.

Step 4. Save your changes

Click Save Changes.

Note: It can take a few minutes for the widget to appear on your live site.


WordPress (theme file)

If you'd rather not install a plugin, you can add the snippet directly to your theme's header file.

Step 1. Open the Theme Editor

In your WordPress admin dashboard, go to Appearance > Theme File Editor.

Step 2. Open header.php

In the file list on the right, click header.php.

Step 3. Paste the widget code

Paste your Text Us widget code snippet just before the closing </head> tag.

Step 4. Save your changes

Click Update File.

Warning: Theme updates can overwrite your changes. If your theme updates frequently, the WPCode plugin method is a safer option.
