How to Use Widgets
FAQ: Embedding Widgets
This guide explains how to use pre-provided iframe codes or direct links from widgetai.online to integrate interactive tools into various platforms.
1 Getting Your Code or Link
Before you can embed a widget, you need to grab its unique iframe code or direct link from your dashboard.
The "Get Code" Icon
On your My Widgets page, each widget has a set of action icons at the bottom right of its card.
-
Click the Get Code icon
This opens a window containing your Iframe Code (for websites) and your Direct Link (for Notion or social media).
-
Copy & Paste
Simply click the "Copy Code" or "Copy Link" buttons to save the information to your clipboard, ready to be used in the steps below.
2 WordPress & Web-Based Systems
Most CMS platforms (WordPress, Wix, Squarespace, Shopify) use a "Block" or "Element" system to handle custom code.
WordPress
Method: Add a Custom HTML block.
Step: Paste the <iframe> code from widgetai.online directly into the block. Preview to verify.
Wix
Method: Go to Add Elements (+) > Embed Code > Embed HTML.
Step: Select "Code" and paste your iframe snippet into the editor box.
Squarespace
Method: Add a Code Block (preferred for widgets) or an Embed Block.
Step: Select "Code Snippet" in the settings and paste your widgetai.online code.
Shopify
Method: In the Page or Product editor, click the Show HTML (<>) button.
Step: Paste the iframe code directly into the HTML editor where you want the widget to appear.
3 Link-Based Embeds (Notion & Workspace Tools)
Modern collaboration tools prioritize "smart links" that automatically expand into interactive windows.
Notion
Method: Quick Paste or /embed command.
Step: Copy the widget URL from widgetai.online, paste it into Notion, and select Create Embed.
Adjustment: Click and drag the handles to change the size of the widget once it appears.
Slack
Method: Direct Message or Channel post.
Step: Paste the widgetai.online link. While Slack doesn't support full interactive iframes inside a chat, it will often generate a rich preview.
Note: For full interactivity, users must click the link to open the widget in a browser.
Microsoft Teams
Method: Tab or Channel post.
Step: To keep a widget permanently visible, click the (+) at the top of a channel, select Website, and paste your widget URL. This embeds the tool as a dedicated tab.
Confluence
Method: /iframe or /widget-connector macro.
Step: Type /iframe, paste the URL from widgetai.online, and set the width/height in the sidebar settings.
4 Quick Troubleshooting
| Platform | Common Issue | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Mobile | Widget looks squashed | In iframe code, change width="[number]" to width="100%". |
| Notion | Only shows a box/link | You chose "Create Bookmark" instead of "Create Embed." Delete and try again. |
| Wix | Widget disappears | Ensure the URL in your code starts with https://. Wix often blocks http:// for security. |
