Creating an automated chatbot for your WordPress website, or even for a site not built with WordPress, can significantly enhance your site's interactivity. Below, you will find a step-by-step guide to integrating a GPT-powered chatbot using chatbase.com. This chatbot relies on OpenAI’s GPT models to generate responses based on your website's content.

Step 1: Setting Up Your Chatbot on Chatbase

  1. Create an Account:

    • Visit chatbase.com.
    • Sign up with your email or use your Google account.
  2. Build Your Chatbot:

    • Click on the "Build your chatbot" button.
    • You have three options: File, Text, and Website. For this tutorial, we will use the website option.
    • Enter your website URL in the provided field.
    • Exclude any unnecessary URLs such as privacy policies or terms and conditions if needed.
    • Click "Create the chatbot".

Step 2: Customizing Your Chatbot

  1. Initial Testing:

    • Test your chatbot by asking questions that are relevant to your website's content.
    • For example, asking "When is the reunion?" should yield the correct date and time.
  2. Custom Settings:

    • Go to the settings tab before making the chatbot live.
    • Change the initial text message and suggested messages for visitors.
    • Customize the color of the chat bubble if needed.

  2. Placing the Code:

    • If your website is built with Elementor, simply drag an HTML widget to the desired location.
    • Paste the copied JavaScript code into the HTML widget.
  3. Additional Integration:

    • If you need to add the chatbot to headers or specific locations within a custom theme or non-Elementor setup, consider using a plugin like "Insert Headers and Footers".

Step 4: Testing and Going Live

  1. Reviewing the Implementation:

    • Ensure the chatbot appears on your website and interacts correctly with user queries.
    • Make sure it only responds based on the content available on your website.
