Custom Website
To install the Button site-wide, place the following line of code in the <head> of your HTML so that it appears on every page:
<script src="https://getbetter.co/button_embed" type="text/javascript" defer></script>This process will be different depending on the tools used to make the website, but it is installed very similarly to products like Google Analytics or Facebook Pixel. If you would like to only add the button on one page, you can insert the code anywhere in the <body> of your HTML.
Customizing the Better Button™
Customizing the location:
If the right side of your page is crowded, you can choose which side of the page to display the Button. Paste the configuration script tag above your Button Embed tag as shown in the example below:
<script type="text/javascript">
const BetterButtonConfig = { position: "left" }
</script><script type="text/javascript" src="https://getbetter.co/button_embed" defer></script>
Note: The default position is "right" and you do not need to add a configuration for this option to take effect.
Customizing as a tray:
If the bottom left or right of your page is crowded, you may want to change the Button to appear as a tab with a tray sliding from the side of your page. Paste the configuration script tag above your Button Embed tag as shown in the example below:
<script type="text/javascript">
const BetterButtonConfig = { style: "tray", position: "left" }
</script><script type="text/javascript" src="https://getbetter.co/button_embed" defer></script>
Note: In the example above, there is also a position configuration that makes the Button a tab and tray in the left position. You can mix and match these settings to your liking.
Customizing as a link:
If the look of the Button or tray does not match your site’s design, you can trigger the button to appear when a link is clicked or a button is pressed. Paste the configuration script tag above your Button Embed tag as shown in the example below:
<script type="text/javascript">
const BetterButtonConfig = { style: "link" }
</script><script type="text/javascript" src="https://getbetter.co/button_embed" defer></script>
The Button will no longer appear on your page and the window will only appear when some Javascript is triggered on a page. The following example shows how you can trigger the window on a link by modifying the onclick attribute on a link or div (<a> or <div>):
<a href="#" onclick="toggleBetterButton()">Toggle Button</a>When this link is clicked, the window will open on your page. With this method, you can maintain the look and feel of your site’s design while still offering the new functionality.
Note: Like the previous example, you can customize the side that the window appears on using the position attribute.
