Welcome to the Ai widget editor, your command center for finalizing your widget's look and behavior. While the AI or template gives you a great foundation, this is where you fine-tune the details—from filtering specific posts to adjusting the layout—to ensure everything matches your brand perfectly.

Here is a breakdown of every section to help you navigate the editor like a pro.

The Left Sidebar: Design & Settings

Once you open your widget, on the left side you can see a few sections. This area controls the visual look of your widget and the rules for which posts are displayed.

1. </> Embed Here you can find the code needed to display the widget on your website. You can choose between:

  • JavaScript: The standard code that updates automatically.

  • iFrame: Best for website builders that restrict scripts.

  • CMS-specific: Shortcodes for platforms like WordPress.

2. ✨ AI Design If you want to change something in your design, you can use this tab

  • Prompt: Type a request and be as more specific as you can(e.g., "Make the review card's background blue") and let AI make the change.

  • Upload Design: Upload a screenshot of a widget design you like, and our AI will attempt to recreate that exact style for you.

3. Templates Browse our library of pre-made layouts. If you want to switch your current look entirely, you can pick a new template here.

4. Filters This is one of the most powerful sections. It allows you to control exactly what content shows up in your widget.

  • Auto-add new posts: Toggle this ON if you want new posts/reviews to appear automatically. If it is "OFF", the new posts will be disabled automatically and you must approve them manually inside the moderation tab.

  • Filter by Date: "Show posts after..." allows you to select a specific date. Only posts published from that date onwards will be displayed.

  • Filter by Keywords: Type words to only show posts that contain them (or exclude posts that contain them).

  • Filter by Tags: Filter posts based on manual tags you have added before.

  • Filter by AI Tags: Use our smart tagging system to filter the posts/reviews. (Learn more about AI Tagging here).

  • Post Type: Choose to display All, Image & Video, Video only, or Text only.

  • Minimum Rating: (For reviews) Select the lowest star rating you want to display (e.g., "4 stars and up").

  • Reviews with text first: Select Yes to prioritize showing reviews that contain written comments over those with just star ratings.

  • Order by Date: Choose Descending (newest first) or Ascending (oldest first).

The Top Navigation: Content Management

These tabs help you manage the specific data and interactions within the widget.

1.Editor: This is your main view (the canvas) where you see the live changes to your widget design.

2. Links Turn your feed into a shopping experience.

  • CTA: Add "Call to Action" buttons to your posts.

  • Tag Products: Link specific posts to products on your website.

3. Moderation Control individual posts.

  • Enable/Disable: Uncheck posts you want to hide from your website without deleting them from the system.

4. Order Manually arrange your content.

  • Pin: Pin your best reviews or posts to the top of the widget.

  • Drag & Drop: Reorder posts in the exact sequence you prefer.

5. Sources Manage where the content comes from.

  • View Sources: See which Instagram accounts, Google locations, or other sources are currently feeding this widget.

  • Add/Remove: Connect new sources to this widget or remove existing ones.

6. Schema (for reviews )Boost your SEO.

  • Copy the Schema code and paste it on your website to display star ratings in Google Search results.
