## **Managing Widgets in Reekolect**

### **What is a Widget?**

A **widget** is a chat interface that can be embedded on websites, advertisements, blogs, or promotional content to seamlessly direct users to your chatbot. Reekolect allows you to create multiple widgets through a simple setup process.

### **How to Manage a Widget**

#### **1. Accessing the Widget Settings**

1. **Log in** to your Reekolect account.
2. **Create or select** a chatbot for WhatsApp, Instagram, Facebook, or Telegram.
3. Navigate to **Automation Settings** for the selected bot.
4. Click on the **Widgets** section to configure and manage widgets.

*Note: This guide focuses on WhatsApp widgets, but the process is similar for other platforms.*

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://help.reekolect.ai/reekolect-resource-center/how-reekolect-works/bot-management/widget.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
