Website Integrations
Transform Your Website into an Interactive Hub
Integrating Activation Engine into your website enhances user engagement by enabling visitors to interact with your activations seamlessly. Whether it's games, conversation flows, or competitions, users can participate without leaving your site—fostering deeper connections and boosting brand loyalty.
Installation Guide
After building an activation in Activation Engine, you can integrate it into your website seamlessly. This can be done through the Website section under Account Settings, allowing you to embed activations.
Step 1: Add the Activation Engine Global Script
To enable website integrations, insert the following script as the last block of code in your website body, just before the closing </body> tag:
<script>
picoChatSettings = {
cid: {CompanyID}
};
var script = document.createElement('script');
script.src = "https://d33whie8snbuur.cloudfront.net/popupPlugin.min.js";
document.body.appendChild(script);
</script>
Replace {CompanyID} with your company’s unique ID, which can be found in the Company Info section of your Engage Engine account.
How to Embed an Activation on Your Website

Best Practices for Website Integrations
Choose the Right Display Type: If you want users to engage seamlessly, use In-Screen. If you prefer an interactive experience triggered by user action, use Pop-up.
Optimize for Mobile: Ensure that embedded activations are responsive and work across all devices.
Test Before Deployment: Always preview the activation to confirm correct functionality before publishing.
By leveraging Activations Engine’s website integrations, you can create an engaging digital experience that keeps visitors interacting with your brand while increasing participation and retention.
