# Connecting a website live chat inbox

A **Website** inbox puts a chat bubble on your site. Visitors write in the widget, their messages arrive as conversations in Mampu AI, and your team or your AI agent replies from there.

## 1. Add a Website inbox

Go to **Settings → Inboxes → Add Inbox** and choose **Website**. The setup runs in four steps: **Choose Channel**, **Create Inbox**, **Add Agents**, **Voilà!**

## 2. Fill in the channel

* **Website Name**: the name shown at the top of the widget.
* **Website Domain**: the site the widget lives on, for example *acme.com*.
* **Widget Color**: the colour of the bubble and header.
* **Welcome Heading** and **Welcome Tagline**: the greeting a visitor sees before they type.
* **Enable channel greeting**: set to **Enabled** to send a **Channel greeting message** automatically when a visitor sends their first message.

Click **Create inbox**.

## 3. Add agents

Under **Pick agents for the inbox**, choose the teammates who will answer website chats, then **Add agents**. You can change this later on the inbox's **Collaborators** tab.

## 4. Install the widget

The **Voilà!** step shows a short script. Copy it and paste it just before the closing `</body>` tag on every page where you want the bubble. The bubble appears as soon as the page reloads. **Take me there** opens the inbox; **More settings** opens its settings page.

## After the inbox is live

Open **Settings → Inboxes**, click the inbox's settings icon and use these tabs:

* **Settings**: **Set Reply time** (**In a few minutes**, **In a few hours**, **In a day**) shows on the widget; **Widget features** switch the file picker, emoji picker and the visitor's **end conversation** button; **Help Center** attaches a portal so the widget can offer articles; **Enable email collect box** and **Enable conversation continuity via email** keep the thread going by email.
* **Pre Chat Form**: ask for a name, email or your own fields before the chat starts.
* **Business Hours**: show your hours on the widget and an **Unavailable message for visitors** outside them.
* **Configuration**: **Allowed Domains** restricts which sites may embed the widget, **Enable widget in mobile apps** when it runs inside an app, and **Identity Validation** stops visitors impersonating each other on logged-in sites.

Every switch is explained in [Inbox settings, tab by tab](/settings/inbox-settings-tabs).
