Creating the container

Next, you need to add a container for the widget. You can do this using the built-in Webflow designer.

Add the placeholder

Add a container to your navigation bar where the search bar will be placed:

Set the container ID

Set the ID of the container to inkeepSearchBar:

Go back to Site settings and navigate to Custom code. Add the below in the Footer code section.

<script type="text/javascript" defer>
  const addInkeepWidget = function () {
    const inkeepScript = document.getElementById("inkeep-script");
 
    inkeepScript.addEventListener("load", () => {
      const inkeepWidget = Inkeep.SearchBar("#inkeepSearchBar", {
        baseSettings: {
          apiKey: "INKEEP_API_KEY", // required
          primaryBrandColor: "#26D6FF", // your brand color, widget color scheme is derived from this
          organizationDisplayName: "Inkeep",
          // ...optional settings
          theme: {
            // optional path to a custom stylesheet
            styles: [
              {
                key: "main",
                type: "link",
                value: "/path/to/stylesheets",
              },
            ],
            // ...optional settings
          },
        },
        modalSettings: {
          // optional settings
        },
        searchSettings: {
          // optional settings
        },
        aiChatSettings: {
          // optional settings
          aiAssistantAvatar: "https://mydomain.com/mylogo", // use your own ai assistant avatar
          exampleQuestions: [
            "Example question 1?",
            "Example question 2?",
            "Example question 3?",
          ],
        },
      });
    });
  };
