# Embed your RWC into a web page

Once you have built a simple RWC following Create your first Rich Web Chat guide, let's embed it into the web page.

# Prerequisites

  • The RWC Flow is activated.
  • Knowledge of HTML.
  • A web page where to embed the chat. You can use a page of your website or download a basic HTML template from the internet for learning purposes.

  1. On the Flow tree, click on the Wait for Chat (RWC) Step.
  2. In the Step configuration panel in the Embedded chat customization section, scroll to the Preview settings.
  3. Click Show at Show / copy code snippet to embed chat.
  4. In the Embed code pop-up, copy styles and script lines of code. If you already have the same styles in your HTML file, skip them and copy only the script.
  5. Paste these code lines into the <header></header> tag of your HTML file.
  6. In the Embed code pop-up, copy the script for the RWC.
  7. Paste it at the bottom in the <body></body> tag of your HTML file.
  8. Save changes in your HTML file and check the results.

TIP

If you make any changes in the fields of the Embedded chat customization section of the Wait for Chat (RWC) Step, copy and paste the code blocks to your HTML file again as described earlier. Otherwise, these changes won't be implemented in your embedded chat.

# Result

The structure of a basic HTML page with pasted code blocks looks like this:

<Html>    
    <Head>
