Before you start
- Your Webflow site needs access to custom code, plus a published domain that matches the website address in PetMySite.
- Set up your website in PetMySite and note its public site key. Your chat provider must also be installed on the pages where your pet opens chat.
Copy your install code
In PetMySite, open your website, go to Installation, choose Webflow and select Copy code. It includes your website's public key. The example below shows its shape.
<script async src="https://cdn.petmysite.com/pet.js" data-site="YOUR_SITE_KEY"></script>YOUR_SITE_KEY is already filled in.Add the code in Webflow
- Open Site settings for the Webflow site and choose the Custom code tab.
- Paste your PetMySite install code into Footer code. Leave the opening and closing script tags intact.
- Save changes, then publish to the domain you added in PetMySite.
Site-wide Footer code reaches every page. A page-level code field reaches only that page.
If the menus look different, see Webflow's custom code instructions.
Publish and verify
- Open a public page on the same domain you entered in PetMySite. Check that your pet appears and that your chat provider still works.
- Return to PetMySite's Installation page, continue to the last step and select Verify installation. It opens your site and waits for the pet to check in.
Troubleshooting
The pet doesn't appear
If the script appears in Designer preview but not on your live site, publish the latest changes to the correct domain.
- View the published page source and search for
pet.js. If it is absent, revisit the code location and publish again. - Check the domain against your PetMySite website address.
www.is ignored, but a different subdomain or staging address is a different website. - Keep just one PetMySite script on each page. If your site uses a Content Security Policy, allow petmysite.com and cdn.petmysite.com for scripts, connections, images and fonts, and permit WebAssembly for animation. A policy that forbids inline styles also blocks the current widget; contact support before changing that policy.
The pet appears but chat doesn't open
Keep your chat provider's own script active on the same pages. PetMySite opens that chat; it does not install the provider.
Other ways to install
Every method loads the same pet with the same settings. Use one method per website.
- WordPressInstall the PetMySite plugin and connect. No code to paste.
- ManualPaste one script tag before </body>. Works with any site builder.
- Google Tag ManagerAdd a Custom HTML tag. Ad blockers can hide the pet for some visitors.
