Webchat
Add a live chat widget to your hotel's website so visitors can ask questions, check availability, and get instant answers from your AI concierge — without leaving your site.
Setting up webchat
1. Design your widget
Go to Webchat > Advanced Designer in your dashboard.
Customize:
- Colors — Match your hotel's brand colors
- Position — Bottom-right or bottom-left of the page
- Welcome message — What guests see when they open the chat
- Avatar — Your hotel logo or a friendly icon
2. Get the embed code
Go to Webchat > Embed in your dashboard.
Copy the code snippet provided and paste it into your website's HTML, just before the closing </body> tag. If you use a website builder (WordPress, Wix, Squarespace), your web developer can add it in minutes.
3. Test it
Visit your website and click the chat icon. Send a test message and verify the AI responds correctly. The conversation will also appear in your Conversations inbox.
How webchat works
- Visitors type a question in the chat widget
- The AI responds instantly using your knowledge base
- If the visitor provides their phone number, vGuest can continue the conversation on WhatsApp
- All webchat conversations appear in your unified inbox alongside WhatsApp and Instagram messages
Testing without embedding
Use Webchat > Test Chat to test the chat experience without adding it to your website. This opens a chat popup directly in the dashboard.
