  • Studio-specific questions

Example Custom Response Setup

Question: "What should I bring to class?"

Response: "Great question! For most of our classes, just bring yourself and a water bottle. We provide mats, blocks, and straps. If you prefer your own mat, you're welcome to bring it! We also recommend wearing comfortable clothing you can move freely in. 🧘‍♀️"

Step 5: Install the Chat Widget

Add YogaBot to your website so students can start chatting:

HTML/JavaScript (Most Common)

Copy and paste this code before the closing </body> tag on your website:

<script>
(function() {
    var script = document.createElement('script');
    script.src = 'https://widget.yogabot.live/widget.js';
    script.setAttribute('data-studio-id', 'YOUR_STUDIO_ID');
    script.setAttribute('data-position', 'bottom-right');
    script.setAttribute('data-theme', 'auto');
    document.head.appendChild(script);
})();

Replace YOUR_STUDIO_ID with your actual studio ID from the dashboard.
