# Install Darwin on Webflow

> Add Darwin AI chat across your Webflow site, allow your domain, publish the embed, and verify the installation.

Darwin installs through Webflow's site-wide custom code. Visitors can ask questions and book meetings while your existing page design stays in place.

## Before you start

You need permission to edit Darwin's workspace settings and publish your Webflow site. Your Webflow workspace or site plan must support custom code. Use the site-wide setting to cover every published page.

## Connect your site

<Steps>
  <Step title="Get your Darwin snippet">
    Open [Settings → Installation](https://app.meetdarwin.ai/admin/settings/installation) in the workspace you want to install.

    1. Under **Allow your website**, add the exact public hostname. `www.example.com` and `example.com` are separate hosts; add each one you actually use.
    2. Select **Copy** beside your workspace's embed code. Keep the complete snippet, including `async`, `data-site-key`, and `data-api-url`.

    Use your own snippet, not another workspace's code. If you also test on a staging domain, allow that hostname separately.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Add the code in Webflow">
    Open **Site settings → Custom code**. Paste the complete Darwin snippet into **Footer code**, after any existing code. Select **Save changes**.

    This placement loads Darwin before the closing body tag across your site. You do not need to add an Embed element to each page.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Publish your changes">
    Publish the site to the domain visitors use. Saving custom code alone does not update the live site.

    If you publish to a Webflow staging hostname as well, allow it in Darwin before testing there.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Verify Darwin">
    Open the **published website** in a fresh browser session. Check the homepage and an inner page, then check a phone-sized screen.

    * The launcher appears once and opens your workspace's chat.
    * The assistant uses your saved appearance and opening message.
    * A question receives an answer from your assistant.
    * If you configured a scheduler, the booking flow opens correctly. Completing a live booking creates a real appointment and can count toward usage; use **Test chat** in Darwin for a simulated booking.

    Return to **Settings → Installation** and select **Check installation** or **Recheck installation**. If **Activate on my website** is available, finish that step too. Finding a script and activating a workspace are separate checks.

    If the widget is missing, follow [Widget not showing](/help/widget-not-showing). If only scheduling needs attention, use [Booking troubleshooting](/help/booking-troubleshooting).
  </Step>
</Steps>

## If something looks wrong

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="I cannot find Custom code">
    Check your Webflow permissions and whether your workspace or site plan includes custom code. A website owner can confirm this in Webflow. See [Webflow's custom-code requirements](https://help.webflow.com/hc/en-us/articles/33961357265299-Custom-code-in-head-and-body-tags).
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="It appears on staging but not on my domain">
    Publish to the production domain, then check that exact hostname under **Allow your website** in Darwin. Also check whether the public URL redirects between the bare domain and `www`.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="I see two launchers">
    Keep one installation. Check site-wide code, individual page code, Embed elements, and any tag-manager container for a second Darwin snippet.
  </Accordion>
</AccordionGroup>

## Update or remove Darwin

Change the assistant's content and appearance in Darwin. To remove the embed, delete only its script from Webflow's **Footer code**, save, and publish again.
