How to share and embed a Zapier chatbot

With Zapier you can build AI chatbots and then share or embed them so teammates, customers, or site visitors can start conversations instantly. This guide walks you through every way to publish a Zapier chatbot, from simple links to full website embeds and custom domains.

Before you share a Zapier chatbot

To follow this how-to, you should already have:

• A Zapier account
• At least one published chatbot created in the Zapier AI tools
• Permission to update your website, help center, or app (if you plan to embed)

Once your bot is ready, you can share direct links, embed it in pages, or connect it to a domain or subdomain you control.

Get a shareable Zapier chatbot link

The fastest way to publish your assistant is to use the shareable link generated for each chatbot.

Open your Zapier chatbot

1. Sign in to your Zapier account.
2. Go to the product area where you manage AI chatbots.
3. Select the chatbot you want to share from your list.

Copy the Zapier chatbot share link

1. In the chatbot editor, find the share or publish section in the sidebar.
2. Locate the option that shows a unique public URL for this chatbot.
3. Click the button to copy the link to your clipboard.

You can now paste this link into emails, internal docs, or support resources so users can open the chatbot in a standalone page hosted by Zapier.

Embed a Zapier chatbot in your website

Instead of sending users to a separate page, you can embed your Zapier chatbot directly into your website or product. This keeps the experience integrated and on-brand.

Choose the Zapier embed type

From the same share or publish area in your Zapier chatbot, you will find embed options. Common formats include:

• Inline embed: The chatbot appears inside your page content, like a help widget or FAQ replacement.
• Popup or modal: The chatbot opens in a window over your page after a click or trigger.
• Side widget: A floating button or panel that expands into a chat interface.

Each embed type includes a small block of JavaScript or HTML code you can paste into your site.

Copy the Zapier chatbot embed code

1. In the chatbot share settings, select your preferred embed layout.
2. Preview how the widget will appear on your site.
3. Click the copy button to grab the auto-generated embed code snippet.

Keep this snippet handy; you will paste it into your site’s HTML where you want the chatbot to appear.

Add the Zapier chatbot to your site

1. Open your website editor or codebase.
2. Navigate to the page template, layout file, or specific page where you want the chatbot to display.
3. Paste the Zapier embed snippet into the HTML, usually just before the closing </body> tag or directly in the page content area, depending on the instructions.
4. Publish or deploy your changes.

Visit your site to confirm the Zapier chatbot loads correctly and the chat window behaves as expected across desktop and mobile devices.

Use a custom domain with your Zapier chatbot

If you prefer a branded URL, you can connect a domain or subdomain you control to your Zapier chatbot. This is ideal for customer-facing support bots and public documentation assistants.

Plan your custom Zapier chatbot URL

Decide which domain or subdomain you want to use, such as:

• chat.yourcompany.com
• assistant.yourcompany.com
• helpbot.yourcompany.com

Make sure you have access to your DNS provider or domain registrar so you can create or edit records.

Configure custom domain settings in Zapier

1. Open the chatbot you want to publish.
2. Go to the sharing or publishing area in the Zapier interface.
3. Find the custom domain or custom URL section.
4. Enter the domain or subdomain that should host your chatbot.
5. Save your settings to generate DNS configuration instructions.

Zapier will show you the exact DNS records you need to add, often a CNAME that routes your chosen subdomain to Zapier’s hosting endpoint.

Update DNS to point to your Zapier chatbot

1. Sign in to your DNS provider or domain registrar.
2. Open the DNS management panel for your domain.
3. Create the CNAME or other record type specified in the Zapier instructions.
4. Paste the target value exactly as provided.
5. Save the record and wait for DNS propagation, which can take up to 24–48 hours, though it is often much faster.

Once DNS has updated, visiting your new URL will open the chatbot page hosted by Zapier under your own branded address.

Control access to your Zapier chatbot

When you share or embed a Zapier chatbot, you may want to control who can use it and how it behaves.

Adjust Zapier chatbot visibility

From the sharing settings, you may see options such as:

• Public: Anyone with the link can access the chatbot.
• Unlisted: The bot is not indexed, but users with the URL can still open it.
• Restricted: Access is limited to specific users, teams, or authenticated sessions.

Choose the visibility level that fits your use case, especially for internal tools or bots that handle sensitive information.

Test your Zapier chatbot experience

1. Open the shared link, embedded widget, or custom domain in an incognito or private window.
2. Start a conversation and confirm the chatbot responds correctly.
3. Check that any authentication or gating you configured works as expected.
4. Verify mobile and desktop layouts so the Zapier widget remains usable on all screen sizes.

Testing from the end user’s perspective helps you catch issues early before you roll out your chatbot widely.

Maintain and update your Zapier chatbot

Once your Zapier chatbot is live, you can refine its behavior without changing your embed code or URL.

• Update prompts or instructions in the Zapier editor to improve answers.
• Add or modify data sources so the chatbot references the right content.
• Monitor conversations and feedback to identify gaps.
• Republish changes; embeds and custom domains will automatically reflect the latest version.

You do not need to re-copy the embed code each time you adjust the chatbot configuration unless Zapier explicitly instructs you to do so.
