How to add a chatbot to your WordPress website without code

You do not need a developer to add a chatbot to a WordPress website. There are two ways to do it, and both take about five minutes.

The plugin, if you want your pages kept in sync

Install the ChatNory plugin, paste your server address and site key, and you are done. The advantage over a plain script is that the plugin keeps your pages, posts and WooCommerce products in sync — publish a new page and the chatbot learns it on its own, with nothing to re-upload.

The plugin also gives you a shortcode, [chatnory], so you can drop the chat inside a page instead of leaving it as a floating button in the corner. That works well on a contact page.

One line in the footer, if you prefer

If you would rather not add a plugin, copy the one-line snippet from your panel and paste it before the closing body tag in your theme — or into any “header and footer scripts” plugin you already use. It is a single script tag and it loads after your page, so it does not slow anything down.

Before you switch it on

Add your website address in the panel first and let it read your public pages. Then add the three or four things that are not written anywhere on the site — your opening hours, your delivery areas, your refund rule. Those are the questions people actually ask.

Then check it yourself

Open your own site and ask it two awkward questions. If it answers them properly, your visitors will get the same. Get the plugin free and try it.
