Install the widget in 5 minutes

AskThis adds social and “Ask AI” share buttons to your pages. The fastest way to go live on any site is the universal embed — one script tag. If you run WordPress or Shopify, use the plugin instead (see Related below); everything else uses the embed.

1. Copy your embed snippet

Paste this just before the closing </body> tag on every page where you want the widget, and replace the site ID with your own from the dashboard (Sites → Install).

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

The script is async and self-contained — it never blocks your page, and if anything goes wrong it fails silently rather than breaking your layout.

2. Tune it with data attributes (optional)

Everything below is optional — sensible defaults apply.

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

3. Verify it’s live

Open your dashboard and click Verify installation. AskThis watches for the widget’s first event and confirms the install. If it doesn’t fire, check the browser console for a one-line notice — the widget logs why without throwing.

That’s it. Social and AI buttons are live and events flow to your analytics.
