Schedule Engine Widget Installation

Step 1: Add the SE Widget on your page

  1. Copy/paste the following script just before the end of your <body> (recommended), in your <head>, or wherever is most convenient. This will give you access to the ScheduleEngine object.

    Note: The value used for data-api-key is for demonstration purposes only. Please obtain the correct value from your Schedule Engine representative.

    <script
      data-api-key="the API Key provided by Schedule Engine"
      data-defer="true"
      id="se-widget-embed"
      src="https://embed.scheduleengine.net/schedule-engine-v3.js"
    ></script>
    

    Note: The value used for data-api-key will be provided to you from someone at Schedule Engine.

Step 2: Activate your CTA (Call-to-Action)

  1. Copy/paste the following <button> onto your page. Style and position as needed.

    <button
      class="se-widget-button"
      type="button"
      onclick="ScheduleEngine.show()"
    >
      Book Now!
    </button>
    

    Note: Any HTML element can be used, provided the class and onclick event handler have been added to it.

  2. Publish your site and you should be seeing the Schedule Engine widget on your page.

Examples

These examples are not meant to be exhaustive, but rather show some common use cases for triggering the Schedule Engine modal to show. The common idea between them is that ScheduleEngine.show*() must be called to open the modal. The API section explains all the different methods and options available.
