Integrating chatbot to website built on wordpress

Rasa Open Source
1

Hi All,

I am trying to develop a simple bot and integrate it into a website built using Wordpress. Has anyone here tried doing this? Can this be achieved using the following REST channels?

My understanding is I can have a separate chat window hosted on server using ‘chatroom’. But how do I integrate it to WordPress site?

@JiteshGaikwad Any inputs on this? Can your widget be used to integrate it to wordpress site?

Hi all, As I mentioned, I used a wordpress plugin called WP Coder that allows adding html, javascript and css code. Afterwards, I added code from GitHub - JiteshGaikwad/RASA-Chatbot-UI: A chat widget easy to connect to RASA core bot to custom channel Hope this helps.

Hello Paras, 2 servers all hosted in AWS; one contains WP and the chat widget, while the other hosts a custom endpoint & RASA.

  1. created a project folder on server
  2. then i moved my content in that folder

i used this JiteshGaikwad/Chatbot-Widget content moved static folder and index.html file

  1. then locally i run ngrok http 5005
  2. then rasa run -m models --enable-api --cors "*" --debug initially i am using rasa run so i am getting CROS error but after changing the command bot runs fine
  3. then in static\js\script.js file change

url: https://7600511477b7.ngrok.io/conversations/${user_id}/execute,

url: https://7600511477b7.ngrok.io/webhooks/rest/webhook,

  1. save the file and open the project page in browser
  2. and you find your bot is up and running

a) i am running bot on my site from my system through ngrok

b) my site is in html not in word press, so if your site is in wordpress, it might be possible that script.js might be fail to operate, you can convert it in jquery file
