the whole snippet
Example
<script src="https://cdn.chatflamingo.com/w/YOUR-KEY.js" defer></script>
This is an example. You get your personal snippet after setup — it's in the dashboard and starts with wk_.
Installation
Where the line goes in WordPress
New: the official ChatFlamingo plugin. Download it, install it under Plugins → Add New → Upload Plugin, enter your key — done. It places that one line and nothing else; appearance, texts and opening hours stay in the dashboard. It will be in the WordPress directory shortly.
Without a plugin
Open footer.php in your theme and paste the snippet directly before </body>. But do it in a child theme, or it's gone with the next update.
With a block theme
The site editor has no field for scripts. Take the plugin route here — with block themes that's the shortest way too.
What it does on your WordPress site
- Unlimited live chat — as many conversations as you like, free forever
- You see who's here right now — with page, location and time on site
- Handover to a human — with a push to your phone and a summary of the conversation
- Answers from your own documents — in the language the question was asked in (free, under fair use)
- Email tickets outside your opening hours — no enquiry gets lost
Price
Free. The AI too.
There is no price per seat and none for the AI answers — they are unlimited, under fair use. The only thing you pay for is Pro: the same chat without “ChatFlamingo free” in the chat window.
Common questions
WordPress and ChatFlamingo
Do I need a plugin?
No. The widget is one line of HTML. A plugin for header scripts is just the most convenient way to paste it in — without one it works through the theme just as well. There is one anyway: the official ChatFlamingo plugin, to download further up this page.
Does it work with WooCommerce?
Yes. The chat runs on every page of your shop. Product cards, basket and order status in the chat additionally need an interface to your shop that has to be set up once.
Does it slow my site down?
The script is loaded with defer, so only after your page is there. It doesn't block rendering.
Do I have to train the bot?
No. It reads your WordPress site itself during setup. You can upload extra documents, but you don't have to.
The chat for your WordPress site. Free.
