Our team is on a constant mission to provide you with tools that simplify your interaction with visitors. Together with our latest JavaScriptS API and OpenWidget's HTML Attributes release, we want to offer you yet another set of features:
- The option to create your own OpenWidget Launcher: use it to create a custom button that you can put anywhere on your website, maximizing your OpenWidget and redirecting your customers straight to one of our features: Contact Form, Feedback Form, Bug Report Form or Frequently Asked Questions Template (FAQ).
- The possibility to set up different settings separately for desktop and mobile devices.
So, what is it actually all about?
🚀 Choose Your Widget's Launch Style
We're all about giving you options, and our new launcher feature lets you take control of how your OpenWidget makes its grand entrance. Whether you prefer the sleek default OpenWidget's bubble or want to create a unique launcher that matches your website's vibe, the choice is yours. Unleash your creativity and set the tone for a memorable user experience.
Creating a custom launcher may require a bit of coding, but don't worry. Together with a new feature, we released a dedicated documentation for developers that will tell you how to create a custom button that will launch a widget on your website. Not a developer yourself, but still want to create your own widget's launcher? We thought about it as well by preparing our HTML Attributes Guide, showing you how to create a custom button in WordPress and how to use our custom attributes that will open the widget and, for example, redirect your customers straight to one of our features: Contact Form, Feedback Form, Bug Report Form or Frequently Asked Questions Template (FAQ).
📱 Tailored Mobile Experience

You can now fine-tune your widget's position, button placements, and offsets to ensure seamless user interactions on the go. With the ability to choose distinct settings for desktop and mobile, you're in the driver's seat to provide the best experience across all devices.
