Astro
Add the chat widget to an Astro site by pasting the snippet into the shared layout, with is:inline so Astro leaves it as written.
Where it goes
On Astro the snippet lives in src/layouts/Layout.astro, before </body>. It is one script tag; it loads asynchronously and never blocks the page.
---
// src/layouts/Layout.astro
---
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8" />
<title>My site</title>
</head>
<body>
<slot />
<script is:inline>
window.sellioSettings = { widgetKey: "your-widget-key" };
(function (w, d) {
w.SellioWidget = w.SellioWidget || [];
var s = d.createElement("script");
s.src = "https://sellio.chat/widget/embed.js";
s.async = true;
d.head.appendChild(s);
})(window, document);
</script>
</body>
</html>Replace your-widget-key with the key from Settings, then Install. The key is public and safe to commit: it names the workspace and carries no permissions.
Steps
- 1In Sellio, open Settings, then Install, and copy the snippet with your widget key.
- 2Open the layout every page uses, usually src/layouts/Layout.astro.
- 3Paste the snippet before </body> and add is:inline to the script tag, as below, so Astro does not bundle or hoist it.
- 4Build and open the site; the launcher should be in the bottom corner.
Identify visitors
When your site knows who is signed in, tell the widget so the inbox shows a name and email instead of a visitor id. Safe to call before the loader has finished; commands queue until it is ready.
window.SellioWidget = window.SellioWidget || [];
window.SellioWidget.push(["setVisitor", {
id: "your-user-id",
name: "Ada Lovelace",
email: "ada@example.com",
}]);To stop anyone spoofing a name, sign the id on your server and pass it as userHash; see Identity verification.
Verify
Open the live site, send a message from the launcher, and check your inbox. If the launcher does not appear, the usual causes are a cache that still serves the old page, a visibility rule in Settings, then Visibility that hides it on this page or device, a domain missing from Allowed domains under Settings, then Install, or a snippet pasted into a page-level box rather than the site-wide one.
