Quickstart

Get AskThis live on any site in under five minutes. This guide covers the universal embed; for WordPress or Shopify, use the plugin instead.

Install the widget

Paste this snippet just before the closing </body> tag. Replace the site ID with your own from the dashboard.

<script async
  src="https://cdn.askthis.io/widget.js"
  data-site-id="cq_8f2a">
</script>

Configure attributes

Control layout and theme with data attributes. All are optional — sensible defaults apply.

Attribute Values
data-site-id Your site key (required)
data-layout inline · sticky · floating
data-theme auto · light · dark
data-labels true · false

Verify it’s firing

Open your dashboard and click Verify installation. AskThis checks for the widget’s first event. If it fails silently, the widget is designed never to break your page — so check the browser console for a one-line notice.

That’s it — social and AI buttons are live, and events flow to your analytics.
