Quick answer

A static HTML site can load MivoChat with one asynchronous script tag. Copy the exact snippet from the Install page, place it before the closing body tag on the pages you choose, allow the website origin, then test the published page.

A useful setup for owners of static html sites begins with the information visitors need and the handoff the team can reliably cover.

    Step 5

    Open the published site in a private browser window, send a test message, and verify a team reply reaches the visitor.

Before you start on Owners of static HTML sites

The script loader needs a real HTTP or HTTPS origin. It refuses opaque `file://` origins.

For a plain HTML site, choose the shared template that serves every page with chat, and confirm the deployment process can publish that file.

  • You can edit the live site's shared template or upload revised HTML files.
  • You can distinguish the production URL from a preview or staging URL.
  • The copied key belongs to the MivoChat site for this business.
  • You have a browser and a second device available to check the live widget.

Step-by-step Owners of static HTML sites setup

Use this sequence to place the loader in the shared document and verify it on the public HTML site.

  • Copy the complete snippet from the Install page for the correct MivoChat site.
  • Open the shared HTML template, or each page that should show chat, and paste the snippet immediately before `</body>`.
  • Save and deploy the files. A `file://` preview will not work; use a published HTTP or HTTPS site.
  • In MivoChat, allow the exact production origin where the widget will run.
  • Open the published site in a private browser window, send a test message, and verify a team reply reaches the visitor.

Domains and content security policy for Owners of static HTML sites

Register the public HTTPS origin in the MivoChat site's allowed websites before testing the HTML install.

For CSP, allow the MivoChat app origin in `script-src`, `frame-src`, and `connect-src` so the loader, chat frame, and API calls can run.

Test on your published Owners of static HTML sites site

Open the public HTML page over HTTP or HTTPS; local file previews do not provide the origin the widget needs.

Troubleshooting Owners of static HTML sites installation

If the launcher is absent, confirm the deployed HTML includes the snippet and that the page is served from the allowed HTTPS origin; inspect the browser console for blocked scripts.
