How do I add live chat to a plain HTML website?

Hi — one script tag, before </body>, on every page that should show the bubble.

1. DeskCrew Dashboard → Install → Embed snippet → Copy. It is already filled with your pub_ key and board slug. Do not retype the key.
2. Paste it immediately before </body> in your shared footer / layout. One tag per page. A duplicate is ignored (window.DESKCREW) but keep it to one.
3. Dashboard → Install → Allowed Origins → add this site’s real origin (https://yourdomain.com). This is the usual reason the bubble shows but messages will not send.
4. Reload a live page (not a file:// preview). You should see the bubble bottom-right. Click it and send a test.

The tag looks like:

<script src="https://deskcrew.io/desk.js" data-key="pub_…" data-board="your-slug" defer></script>

Optional on the same tag: data-color="#0d9488", data-position="left", data-greeting="Need a hand?"

If it does not load:

• View source and confirm desk.js is actually in the HTML
• Console: “[deskcrew] data-key is required” means the key was dropped — re-copy
• Hard-refresh (cache)

The widget mounts in a Shadow DOM so it will not fight your CSS. Same snippet works on a static host, Nginx, or a plain index.html.
