Top 3 Questions to assess if Siba can help you or your business

Here are the 3 questions that we typically ask to assess if Siba can help:

1. Does your business or your applications have a CUI (Conversational User Interface)?

2. Is your business or your applications accessible through more than the default UI that comes with the application (e.g. Can you access your ERP/CRM/HCM/e-Commerce system from Slack or Facebook Messenger on a mobile device or from Amazon Alexa)? In other words, do you have a Single Interface for Multiple Applications?

3. Do your employees, customers and partners have a Virtual Digital Assistant that can help boost productivity, save time to handle mundane tasks and free human users for higher value tasks?

If the answer to one or more of these questions is a "NO", then we believe Siba can help!

Adding Siba Bot to your Blog on Blogger

There are multiple ways to add Siba Chatbot to your blog on blogger. This post describes one of the methods to embed Siba Bot on your site.

1. Get Your Siba Bot


If you haven't already done so, visit https://www.siba.chat or email info@siba.ai to sign up for your own bot. Make sure to mention the following two properties in your request:



  • Bot Name: This is the unique short name of your bot (Use characters a-z, A-Z, 0-9 and - only). You will be notified if your requested bot name has already been taken by someone else and you can choose a different name.
  • Bot Title: This is the descriptive name of your bot and it will be displayed as a tool tip when mouse cursor is placed on the Siba Bot icon on the page (Use 72 characters or less)

Once the bot has been setup successfully, you will receive a confirmation email including your bot name and title.


Note: If you do not receive an email after signing up, please contact info@siba.ai for further help.


2. Add Siba Bot to the Blog



The easiest way to add Siba Bot to your blog is by adding a few lines of JavaScript code to the theme template. Sign into your blog and follow these steps:

  • In the left menu, click Theme
  • Under "Live on Blog", click Edit HTML



  • Copy and paste the following JavaScript code snippet just before the closing body tag (</body>) in the HTML source


 <!-- Start Siba Chatter Widget -->  
 <script type="text/javascript">  
  (function(w, d, u, b, t) {  
   w.SibaChatter = function(c) { w.SibaChatter._.push(c) };  
   w.SibaChatter._ = []; w.SibaChatter.url = u; w.SibaChatter.bot = b; w.SibaChatter.title = t;  
   var h = d.getElementsByTagName('script')[0], j = d.createElement('script');  
   j.async = true; j.src = u + '/js/widget.js';  
   h.parentNode.insertBefore(j, h);  
  })(window, document, 'https://www.siba.chat', 'sibabot', 'Siba Bot');  
 </script>  
 <!-- End Siba Chatter Widget -->  

Note: Make sure to change the bot name from "sibabot" to your personal bot name and the title from "Siba Bot" to whatever text you like displayed as mouse cursor is placed on the bot icon on your site to help your site visitors notice the bot easily.

The following screenshot shows an example of posted JavaScript just before the </body> tag. Please note that the exact line number in the template may vary depending upon the theme you are using.





Save changes by clicking Save Theme button.

Now, when you visit the blog site, you should see Siba Bot icon pop up in the lower right corner of you site that looks like the icon shown below.



Congratulations! You just launched your personal chatbot!!
