Widget activation by a button on the website
It is possible to activate a widget variant by a button on the website. For example, on your website you can use the button ' quote requestn' button. When someone presses this button, the quote request form activates and opens automatically.
Other examples of how to use this are:
- Newsletter subscription
- Download whitepaper
- Get in touch
- Make an appointment
How do you do this?
Option 1: Add a javascript link to the button
1. Open your website builder and go to the button you want to add the link to. 2. Then add the appropriate link per widget. It is important to use the right key of your bot.(Where do I find my Leadbot's key?) See below for the most common links.

Option 2: Add an html link to the code

With this functionality you can show this visitor a different variant than visitors who come to your website more often.
