Installing Webchat on GoDaddy

Before you can install Webchat on GoDaddy, you’ll need to create a custom code snippet. 

To create the custom code snippet:

1. If you haven’t already, copy the Webchat code to your clipboard.
2. Open a text editor and paste your Webchat code. 
3. Copy the following code snippet to the text editor. 

    

   <script>
     function insertJS() {
       // eslint-disable-next-line
       var body = window.parent.document.body;
       var jsScriptNode = document.createElement('script');
       jsScriptNode.setAttribute('type', 'text/javascript');
       jsScriptNode.setAttribute('src', 'https://connect.podium.com/widget.js#API_TOKEN=YOURTOKEN');
       body.appendChild(jsScriptNode);
     }
   var start = Date.now();
   var interval = 9;

   function main() {
      var body = document.body;
      if (body) {
        insertJS();
      } else if (Date.now() - start > 10000) {
        return null;
      } else {
        setTimeout(function () {
        main();
      }, interval);
        interval *= 2;
      }
     // console.log(window.parent)
   }
   main();

   </script>
