# Deploying Your ChatNode Agent

Follow the steps below to deploy your agent and make it accessible on your website.

## 1. Navigate to the Deploy Tab
From your ChatNode dashboard:
- Open your agent
- Click **Deploy** in the left navigation menu

This is where you’ll find all available deployment options.

## 2. Make Your Agent Public
If prompted, set your agent to **Public** to allow it to be embedded externally. You will see a pop-up asking you to confirm privacy settings.
Click **Make Public**.

This allows visitors on your website to interact with the agent without authentication.

## 3. Choose a Deployment Method
Once on the Deploy page, you can choose between multiple integration options. For website embedding, we recommend either:

### A. Chat Widget (Recommended)
This option allows your bot to appear as a floating chat bubble on any webpage.

**How to use:**
- Copy the provided script snippet
- Paste it into your website’s HTML
- Save and publish your changes

**Note:** You can add the custom JavaScript **anywhere** in your site’s HTML. Script placement will **not** affect loading, so feel free to place it wherever is most convenient.

### B. WordPress Plugin
If your site runs on WordPress:
- Install the ChatNode WordPress plugin (if applicable).
- Add your bot’s share code to the plugin settings.
- Save your configuration.

This embeds the widget without modifying theme files manually.

## 4. Verify the Widget
After adding the code/plugin:
- Refresh your live website
- Look for the chat bubble in the corner of the page
- Send a few messages to ensure it loads correctly

### Troubleshooting
If you don’t see the widget:
- Ensure the agent is set to **Public**
- Confirm you saved/published changes
- Clear your browser cache
- Disable caching plugins temporarily (WordPress)

Your ChatNode agent is now live and ready to assist your visitors!
