Which Engage widget should you choose for your goal?

Choose forms, chat, video, or downloads based on the action you want to make easier on your website.

Engage widgets add a specific action to your website: capture details, start a conversation, show a video, or offer a resource. Choosing them based on the result you want makes the page more useful and prevents several elements from competing for attention.

Start with the need: do you want to receive a request, make it easy for visitors to message you, explain something, or share a resource? Then choose the widget and the page location that best supports that action.

A practical example

A clinic wants to receive requests from its treatment page and make it easy for visitors to ask quick questions elsewhere on the site. It can publish a form to collect a name and preferred appointment time on that page, and add a messaging button where brief questions are likely. If it has an explanatory video, it can place it beside the service; a downloadable guide works best when visitors want to keep detailed information.

Before publishing, test each widget as a visitor would: check that it appears in the expected place, opens the right destination, and saves the details your team needs. To connect forms to CRM, see How to create a form widget and send its entries to CRM.
