FAQs
What happens if I delete a widget that’s already live on my website?
Deleted versions will automation revert back to your Default widget settings. We recommend updating the widget script on your website as soon as possible to avoid confusion.
Can I create multiple Embed or Full page widgets?
Duplication and versions are only available for the Converse widget.
Can I deactivate a widget version without deleting it?
No.
Each widget version has a unique deployment script with a unique version ID. If you are not using a version, don’t want to delete it, and also don’t want to use it, simply remove the script from your website.
Can I display different messages to subscribers depending on the widget version they’re using?
Yes!
Use the built-in variable converse_id to display a different message based on the ID of the version the subscriber is using. Find the version IDs after the s parameter in the deployment script, here:
