# Widget customization **Widgets** enable instant integration of ElevenAgents into any website. You can either customize your widget through the UI or through our type-safe [ElevenAgents SDKs](/guides/elevenapi-resources-libraries) for complete control over styling and behavior. The SDK overrides take priority over UI customization. Our widget is multimodal and able to process both text and audio. :::callout{intent="note"} You can also retrieve an agent's widget configuration and shareable link from Claude or another MCP client through the [hosted MCP server](/guides/elevenagents-operate-hosted-mcp). ::: ## Modality configuration The widget supports flexible input modes to match your use case. Configure these options in the dashboard under **Channels** → **Widget** → **Interface**. :::callout{intent="note"} Multimodality is fully supported in our client SDKs, see more [here](/guides/elevenapi-resources-libraries). :::

**Available modes:** - **Voice only** (default): Users interact through speech only. - **Voice + text**: Users can switch between voice and text input during conversations. - **Chat Mode**: Conversations start in chat (text-only) mode without voice capabilities when initiated with a text message. For more information on using chat (text-only) mode via our SDKs, see our [chat mode guide](/guides/elevenagents-guides-chat-mode). :::callout{intent="note"} The widget defaults to voice-only mode. Enable the text input toggle to allow multimodal interactions, or enable text-only mode support for purely text-based conversations when initiated via text. ::: ## Embedding the widget :::callout{intent="note"} Widgets currently require public agents with authentication disabled. Ensure this is disabled in the **Advanced** tab of your agent settings. ::: Add this code snippet to your website's `` section. Place it in your main `index.html` file for site-wide availability: **`Widget embed code`** ```html title="Widget embed code" ``` :::callout{intent="info"} For enhanced security, define allowed domains in your agent's **Allowlist** (located in the **Security** tab). This restricts access to specified hosts only. ::: ## Widget attributes This basic embed code will display the widget with the default configuration defined in the agent's dashboard. The widget supports various HTML attributes for further customization: #### Core configuration ```html ``` #### Visual customization ```html ``` #### Text customization ```html ``` #### Markdown rendering The widget renders markdown in agent responses. Links display as plain text by default to prevent phishing. ```html ``` ## Runtime configuration Two more html attributes can be used to customize the agent's behavior at runtime. These two features can be used together, separately, or not at all ### Dynamic variables Dynamic variables allow you to inject runtime values into your agent's messages, system prompts, and tools. ```html ``` All dynamic variables that the agent requires must be passed in the widget. :::callout{intent="info"} See more in our [dynamic variables guide](/guides/elevenagents-customization-personalization-dynamic-variables). ::: ### Overrides Overrides enable complete customization of your agent's behavior at runtime: ```html ``` Overrides can be enabled for specific fields, and are entirely optional. :::callout{intent="info"} See more in our [overrides guide](/guides/elevenagents-customization-personalization-overrides). ::: ## Visual customization Customize the widget's appearance, text content, language selection, and more. #### Update via the dashboard Open your agent in the dashboard and navigate to the **Widget** tab to customize appearance, avatar, text, terms, language support, and more.

#### Update via the CLI #### Pull the agent configuration ```bash elevenlabs agents pull --agent "" ``` #### Edit \`agent\_configs/\.json\` Set fields under `platform_settings.widget`. For example, to change the orb colors and feedback mode: ```json { "platform_settings": { "widget": { "variant": "full", "placement": "bottom-right", "avatar": { "type": "orb", "color_1": "#6DB035", "color_2": "#F5CABB" }, "feedback_mode": "during", "bg_color": "#ffffff", "text_color": "#000000", "btn_color": "#000000", "btn_text_color": "#ffffff" } } } ``` #### Push your changes ```bash elevenlabs agents push --agent "" ``` #### Update via the API ```python from elevenlabs import ElevenLabs elevenlabs = ElevenLabs() elevenlabs.conversational_ai.agents.update( agent_id="agent_7101k5zvyjhmfg983brhmhkd98n6", platform_settings={ "widget": { "variant": "full", "placement": "bottom-right", "avatar": { "type": "orb", "color_1": "#6DB035", "color_2": "#F5CABB", }, "feedback_mode": "during", }, }, ) ``` ```typescript import { ElevenLabsClient } from "@elevenlabs/elevenlabs-js"; const elevenlabs = new ElevenLabsClient(); await elevenlabs.conversationalAi.agents.update("agent_7101k5zvyjhmfg983brhmhkd98n6", { platformSettings: { widget: { variant: "full", placement: "bottom-right", avatar: { type: "orb", color1: "#6DB035", color2: "#F5CABB", }, feedbackMode: "during", }, }, }); ``` #### Appearance Customize the widget colors and shapes to match your brand identity. Widget appearance

#### Feedback Gather user insights to improve agent performance. This can be used to fine-tune your agent's knowledge-base & system prompt.

**Collection modes** - **None**: Disable feedback collection entirely. - **During conversation**: Support real-time feedback during conversations. Additionnal metadata such as the agent response that prompted the feedback will be collected to help further identify gaps. - **After conversation**: Display a single feedback prompt after the conversation. :::callout{intent="note"} Send feedback programmatically via the [API](https://elevenlabs.io/docs/eleven-agents/api-reference/conversations/create) when using custom SDK implementations. ::: #### Avatar Configure the voice orb or provide your own avatar.

**Available options** - **Orb**: Choose two gradient colors (e.g., #6DB035 & #F5CABB). - **Link/image**: Use a custom avatar image. #### Display text Customize all displayed widget text elements, for example to modify button labels. Widget text contents

#### Terms Display custom terms and conditions before the conversation. Terms setup

**Available options** - **Terms content**: Use Markdown to format your policy text. - **Local storage key**: A key (e.g., "terms\_accepted") to avoid prompting returning users. **Usage** The terms are displayed to users in a modal before starting the call: Terms display

The terms can be written in Markdown, allowing you to: - Add links to external policies - Format text with headers and lists - Include emphasis and styling For more help with Markdown, see the [CommonMark help guide](https://commonmark.org/help/). :::callout{intent="info"} Once accepted, the status is stored locally and the user won't be prompted again on subsequent visits. ::: #### Language Enable multi-language support in the widget. Widget language

:::callout{intent="note"} To enable language selection, you must first [add additional languages](/guides/elevenagents-customization-voice-customization-language) to your agent. ::: #### Muting Allow users to mute their audio in the widget.

To add the mute button please enable this in the `interface` card of the agent's `widget` settings.

#### Shareable page Customize your public widget landing page (shareable link).

**Available options** - **Description**: Provide a short paragraph explaining the purpose of the call. *** ## Advanced implementation :::callout{intent="note"} For more advanced customization, you should use the type-safe [ElevenAgents SDKs](/guides/elevenapi-resources-libraries) with a Next.js, React, or Python application. ::: ### Client Tools Client tools allow you to extend the functionality of the widget by adding event listeners. This enables the widget to perform actions such as: - Redirecting the user to a specific page - Sending an email to your support team - Redirecting the user to an external URL To see examples of these tools in action, start a call with the agent in the bottom right corner of this page. The [source code is available on GitHub](https://github.com/elevenlabs/elevenlabs-dx/blob/main/fern/assets/scripts/widget.js) for reference. #### Creating a Client Tool To create your first client tool, follow the [client tools guide](/guides/elevenagents-customization-tools-client-tools). #### Example: Creating the \`redirectToExternalURL\` Tool

#### Example Implementation Below is an example of how to handle the `redirectToExternalURL` tool triggered by the widget in your JavaScript code: **`index.js`** ```javascript title="index.js" document.addEventListener("DOMContentLoaded", () => { const widget = document.querySelector("elevenlabs-convai"); if (widget) { // Listen for the widget's "call" event to trigger client-side tools widget.addEventListener("elevenlabs-convai:call", (event) => { event.detail.config.clientTools = { // Note: To use this example, the client tool called "redirectToExternalURL" (case-sensitive) must have been created with the configuration defined above. redirectToExternalURL: ({ url }) => { window.open(url, "_blank", "noopener,noreferrer"); }, }; }); } }); ``` :::callout{intent="info"} Explore our type-safe [SDKs](/guides/elevenapi-resources-libraries) for React, Next.js, and Python implementations. ::: ## Related pages - [Administration](./administration-index.md) - [API reference](./api-reference-index.md) - [Changelog](./changelog-index.md) - [ElevenAgents](./elevenagents-index.md) - [ElevenAPI](./elevenapi-index.md) - [ElevenCreative](./elevencreative-index.md) - [ElevenLabs Documentation Docs](../index.md) - [General Troubleshooting FAQ](./troubleshooting-index.md) - [General Website FAQ](./website-index.md) - [Help Center](./help-center-2-index.md) # Agent Instructions Cite this page’s canonical URL and keep its documentation version.
