Widget

Support on every page, in your colors.

One launcher gives customers your help articles, a way to message your team, your latest updates, your roadmap and your forms. Paste a two-line snippet and it works on any website or app.

What your customers see

Answers and a way to reach you, one click away.

Turn on the panels you need and visitors switch between them with a tab bar. Click a tab, or a card below, to look around.

Powered by Cove

  • Feedback Appears on its own when a survey is live for that visitor.

On screens 640 pixels wide or smaller, the widget opens full-screen. On larger screens, visitors can expand it for a bigger view.

Why it matters

Built to feel like part of your product.

Answers before tickets

Visitors search your articles and read them right in the widget, so many questions are answered before anyone has to write in.

Conversations don’t get lost

Customers see their past conversations, a count on the launcher shows new replies, and anyone who gave an email gets your reply in their inbox too.

It looks like you

Your color, logo, corners and launcher. Your site’s styles don’t affect the widget, and the widget doesn’t affect your site.

Change it without a deploy

Panels, tab labels, quick links and availability are settings in Cove. Change them any time, with no code to update.

Appearance

Your brand, down to the launcher.

Set your brand color and logo once and every widget, your help center and your branded emails use them. Then shape each widget for the place it lives.

  • Choose a Branded or Light header, a greeting, and your own tab names, such as “Support” instead of “Messages”.
  • Pick from eight launcher icons, three shapes and three sizes, with an optional label such as “Need help?”.
  • Add up to 8 quick links above the help search, like a status page or booking link, shown to everyone, signed-in visitors or anonymous visitors.
  • Let visitors minimize the launcher into a slim tab, or start it minimized.

Install

Two lines of code. Any website.

Copy the snippet and paste it before the closing body tag, or into the custom code setting of WordPress, Webflow, Squarespace, Wix or Shopify. Reload, and the launcher appears.

  • Choose which domains can load it, so nobody can copy your snippet to their own site.
  • Hide the floating button and open the widget from your own button or link, on any tab or straight onto a form. No code needed: add data-cove-open to a button.
  • Have logins? Identify signed-in users so they skip the email field and see their conversations on any device.

Availability

Pause it for an outage. Hide it without touching your site.

Every widget has its own availability. Switch it in Cove and your site updates on its own, with nothing to redeploy.

  • Announcement shows your message, up to 280 characters, at the top of every tab. Visitors can still read articles and reply to their conversations, but can’t start new ones or submit forms.
  • Hidden removes the widget completely. The snippet keeps working, so nothing on your site breaks.
  • Cove shows who changed it and when. One click on Set live brings it back.

A widget for every place you install

Run separate widgets on your marketing site and in your app, each with its own key, domains, availability and look, all sharing one brand and one inbox. Starter includes 2 widgets, Growth 6, Team 20 and Business unlimited.

FAQ

Questions about the widget

Does it work with my website builder?

Yes. Paste the snippet into the HTML of every page, just before the closing body tag. WordPress, Webflow, Squarespace, Wix and Shopify all have a custom code or footer code setting for this.

Can I open the widget from my own button?

Yes. Add data-cove-open to any button, or link to a tab with an address such as #cove-roadmap. Developers can also call Cove.open(), open a specific form, and show their own unread indicator.

Will it clash with my site’s styles?

No. Your site’s styles don’t affect the widget, and the widget doesn’t affect yours.

Do customers keep their conversations if they come back later?

Yes. Anonymous visitors are remembered in their browser. If your site has logins, identify signed-in users and their conversations follow them to any device.

Can I remove the “Powered by Cove” badge?

Yes, on the Business plan.
