Auto Pop-Up Zendesk Messaging Widget Setup

Learn how to set up an automatic pop-up for the Zendesk messaging widget on your website with simple JavaScript code.

How can I make the Zendesk messaging widget pop up automatically on my website?

To make the Zendesk messaging widget pop up automatically when your website loads, you need to add a specific JavaScript code snippet to your site.

After installing the messaging widget, place the following code near your body tag, right after the widget snippet:

<script type="text/javascript"> zE(function(){ zE('messenger', 'open'); }); </script>

This code will ensure that the widget opens immediately as the page loads. If you prefer a delay, you can wrap thezEfunction within asetTimeoutmethod to specify the delay in milliseconds. For example, a 10-second delay would look like this:

<script type="text/javascript"> window.setTimeout(function() { zE(function() { zE('messenger', 'open'); }); }, 10000); // 10 seconds delay </script>

Adjust the delay by changing the number10000to your desired milliseconds. For more details, check out theoriginal Zendesk article.
