How to Add Live Chat to Your Draftly Website

Visitors who chat with a business are 5x more likely to convert than those who don't.

Option 1 — Tawk.to (Free)

  • Sign up at tawk.to
  • Copy the widget script from your Tawk dashboard
  • In Draftly, go to Settings → Custom Code → Before ``
  • Paste the script and save
The chat bubble appears on all pages automatically.

Option 2 — WhatsApp Chat Button

For most Indian businesses, WhatsApp is more effective than live chat.

Add a floating WhatsApp button:

  • In Draftly, add a Custom HTML block in the footer

  • Paste a WhatsApp link button: `Chat on WhatsApp`

  • Style with CSS to make it a fixed floating button


Or use the built-in WhatsApp button section in Draftly.

Option 3 — Intercom or Crisp

For SaaS businesses needing user context (logged-in user data), Intercom and Crisp offer script-based integrations via Custom Code.

Best Practices

  • Set realistic response time expectations ('usually replies within 2 hours')
  • Offline hours should show an email capture, not a broken chat
  • Don't use both WhatsApp chat AND live chat — pick one
