Use DoxyChat on Any Website

Access your knowledge base from your CRM, intranet, Google Docs, or any other tool — without ever switching tabs.

Introduction

The classic widget integration works perfectly on websites you own. But what about all the other sites you visit every day?

DoxyChat Anywhere is an open source Chrome extension that overlays your DoxyChat assistant on any webpage. Your team can query your knowledge base directly from a third-party tool, with zero technical integration on that site.

Typical use cases:

  • Browse internal documentation while working inside your CRM
  • Access your assistant from a project management tool (Notion, Monday, etc.)
  • Overlay your chatbot on an intranet whose code you cannot modify
  • Use your personal assistant while researching on the web

Note: This method is designed for use within your own browser (or your team’s). To embed the widget on a site you manage, use the Widget Integration method instead.

1. Install the Extension

The extension is available as open source on GitHub. While the Chrome Web Store release is coming soon, installation takes 2 minutes via developer mode.

  1. Download or clone the GitHub repository: DoxyChat_Anywhere
  2. Unzip the folder if needed.
  3. Open Google Chrome and navigate to chrome://extensions/.
  4. Enable Developer mode (toggle in the top-right corner).
  5. Click Load unpacked.
  6. Select the doxychat_addon/ folder you just downloaded.
  7. The DoxyChat Anywhere icon will appear in your Chrome toolbar.

Tip: Pin the extension to your toolbar by clicking the puzzle icon (Extensions) and then the pin next to DoxyChat Anywhere.

2. Find Your Chatbot ID

Your Chatbot ID is the unique identifier for your bot. You can find it in two places:

  • In the Integration tab of your DoxyChat dashboard — it appears in the embed snippet (data-bot-id="xxxxxxxx-...").
  • In the URL of your chatbot’s settings page.

It is a UUID-format string, for example: xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx.

3. Configure the Extension

  1. Click the DoxyChat Anywhere icon in your Chrome toolbar.
  2. Paste your Chatbot ID into the input field.
  3. Choose your injection mode (see below).
  4. Click Save.

4. Choose Your Injection Mode

The extension offers two ways to display the widget.

Automatic mode (Auto-inject)

Enable the Auto-inject toggle. The widget will automatically appear on every page you load in Chrome, as soon as the page is ready.

Best for: teams who want the assistant always available, regardless of which page they are on.

Manual mode (On-demand injection)

Leave the toggle off. You can then trigger the widget manually on the active tab by clicking the Inject on this tab button in the extension popup.

Best for: users who prefer to control exactly which pages show the widget.

5. Verify It Works

  1. Go to any website (for example wikipedia.org).
  2. The DoxyChat chat bubble should appear in the corner of the page.
  3. Click it and ask a question to test your assistant.

Known Limitations

Some highly secured websites (such as GitHub, banking apps, or certain Google tools) use a strict Content Security Policy (CSP) that may prevent external scripts from loading.

On these sites, the widget may not appear. This is a restriction enforced by the host site, not a malfunction of the extension. For the vast majority of websites, the extension works perfectly.
