How to Add Envoy to WordPress
Follow these steps to get your AI chatbot live on your WordPress site. The entire process takes under 5 minutes.
Get your Envoy script tag
Sign in to your Envoy dashboard, open Settings → Embed Code, and copy the one-line <script> snippet. It looks like: <script src="https://cdn.envoy.ai/widget.js" data-id="YOUR_ID" async></script>
Install the Header Footer Code Manager plugin
In your WordPress admin, go to Plugins → Add New, search for "Header Footer Code Manager" (by 99robots), click Install Now, then Activate. This free plugin lets you inject code into your site header without editing theme files.
Add the script to your site header
Go to HFCM → Add New Snippet. Set Location to "Header", paste your Envoy script tag into the code box, set Status to Active, and click Save. The chatbot now loads on every page of your site.
Confirm the chatbot is live
Open your website in a new browser tab or incognito window. The Envoy chat widget should appear in the corner of the page within a few seconds. If it does not appear, clear your cache plugin (if any) and reload.

Common questions about Envoy on WordPress
Will Envoy slow down my WordPress site?
No. The widget script loads asynchronously after your page content has fully rendered. It is under 20 KB gzipped and served from a global CDN, so it has zero impact on your Core Web Vitals, Lighthouse score, or Google search rankings.
Do I need to edit my theme's functions.php or header.php?
Not at all. The Header Footer Code Manager plugin handles the injection safely without touching your theme files. This means the script survives theme updates and will not break if you switch themes.
Does Envoy work with WooCommerce?
Yes. Envoy crawls your product pages, category pages, and FAQ content automatically. Visitors can ask questions about your products, shipping policy, and return process — and the chatbot answers from your actual site content.
Can I only show the chatbot on certain pages?
Yes. In the Header Footer Code Manager plugin, you can restrict a snippet to specific pages or post types using its conditional logic settings. You can also use Display Rules inside your Envoy dashboard to control when the widget appears.
