How to add live chat to Ghost

Add live chat to your Ghost blog or newsletter site: paste one line into Code Injection's Site Footer and save.

Before you start

You need a free Quarito account with your website added. Create one if you haven't yet: it takes a minute and there's no card to enter.

Then copy your install code from Administration › Chat Widget › Install. It's one line that looks like this, with your own site's ID in it:

Your install code
<script src="https://chat.quarito.com/l/YOUR-SITE-ID.js" async></script>
  • Use it exactly as it is. Don't change the address or download the file: the chat updates itself from there.
  • You only paste it once. Colours, messages and everything else change from the dashboard and reach your site within about a minute.

Add the code with Code Injection

  1. In your Ghost admin, open Settings.
  2. Go to Advanced › Code Injection.
  3. Paste your install code into Site Footer. Code there goes just before </body> on every page.
  4. Save.

Readers and members see the same chat, and you answer them all from one inbox.

The chat on some pages only

Each post and page has its own Code Injection in its settings, if you only want the chat on a few. Or keep it in Site Footer and list the pages to skip under Chat Widget › Behavior › Pages without the chat.

If the chat doesn't show on Ghost

  • The code is in Site Header. Move it to Site Footer.
  • Your theme doesn't print the footer code. Ghost themes include it with {{ghost_foot}} just before </body>. Almost every theme has it; if a custom theme doesn't, add it to its default.hbs.

Check that it works

  1. Open your site in a private (incognito) window, so you see it the way a visitor does.
  2. Look for the chat button in the bottom corner of the page, then send yourself a test message.
  3. In the dashboard, the message appears in your Inbox as it arrives. Reply, and watch the answer reach the website.

You can also choose check the installation on the Install tab of Administration › Chat Widget: we load your home page and look for your code. No button? Go through when the chat doesn't show.
