Quick Start

Get up and running with Hunch in just a few minutes. This guide will walk you through the essential steps to add AI chat to your website.

Prerequisites​

Before you begin, make sure you have:

  • Access to your website's HTML/code
  • A Hunch account (or sign up for one)

Step 1: Sign Up for Hunch​

If you don't already have a Hunch account, you'll need to create one:

  1. Visit hunchbank.com/#pricing
  2. Choose a plan that suits your needs
  3. Complete the signup process with your email and company details

Step 2: Add Your Website​

  1. Log in to your Hunch dashboard at app.hunchbank.com
  2. Navigate to Websites in the sidebar
  3. Click Add Website
  4. Enter your website URL (e.g., https://yourdomain.com)
  5. Click Add Website

Step 3: Copy the Embed Code​

After adding your website, you'll receive an embed code that looks like this:

<script src="https://cdn.hunchbank.com/embed.js" data-api-key="YOUR_API_KEY"></script>

Copy this code - you'll need to add it to your website.

Step 4: Add the Code to Your Website​

For WordPress​

Add the code to your theme's footer or use a plugin like "Insert Headers and Footers".

For Shopify​

Add the code to your theme.liquid file in the footer section.

For Custom Websites​

Paste the code just before the closing </body> tag on every page where you want the chat widget to appear.

Step 5: Verify Installation​

  1. Go back to your Hunch dashboard
  2. Navigate to your website settings
  3. Click Verify Installation

Once verified, your chat widget will appear on your website based on your trigger settings.

Step 6: Configure Your Chat​

Now that the widget is installed, you can customize it:

  • Greeting Message: Set a welcome message for visitors
  • Position: Choose bottom-left or bottom-right
  • Theme: Light, dark, or auto
  • Triggers: When should the chat appear?
