Example use cases for Buttonizer
-
Increase engagement using social sharing buttons. Buttonizer supports all the well known social sharing buttons. Increase social media engagement with one-click social sharing buttons from any page on your site.
-
Boost your social media following. Include all your social media icons/channels as floating buttons anywhere on your website, or in your header, footer, right-rail, etc. Ensure visitors follow you across all your social channels so you’re able to engage with them wherever they are.
-
The Buttonizer advantage. Buttonizer gives you the ability to manage different chat options at the same time. Each visitor is unique, and has a different communication preference. When you let your visitors chat with you using chat apps like Facebook Messenger, WhatsApp, Viber, Telegram, etc, they have the freedom of chatting with you however they prefer, which increases engagement with your website.
-
Launch your favorite live chat. While Formilla Live Chat comes directly integrated, you can use JavaScript as one of your click actions to launch any other live chat product such as Hubspot, Tawk.to, Tidio, Chatra, Zoho, Zendesk, LiveChat, Crisp, Intercom and JivoChat.
-
Connect with your visitors on WhatsApp Business. Connect WhatsApp Business to your site. Your visitors can start chatting with you on WhatsApp Business. You can create multiple different WhatsApp buttons for different departments or categories on your website to route chats to the proper staff.
-
Setup different floating buttons on mobile and desktop. Show different chat buttons depending on the device your visitor is using. For example, show a Call Now and WhatsApp button on mobile and a contact form, email and URL on desktop.
-
Add Click-to-call button. Show a phone icon and let your visitors click to call you. You can show different local phone numbers based on page URL or available days and hours.
-
Show different action buttons for different pages. You can use this feature to show separate widgets for different products on your website, show different buttons based on URL for WPML or multi-language sites, display different channels for your landing pages, and more.
Filter your buttons (show or hide on devices, different pages, during certain hours, etc.)
Choose whenever your buttons are visible on desktop or mobile devices, different pages or under specific page rule conditions. You can even control if buttons should only display to logged in users, or during certain office hours. For example, you may want to show a Click-to-Call button and WhatsApp Chat button during office hours, but automatically show a custom Contact Form or A.I. Chatbot outside of your business hours.

Yes, you can choose for each button if you want to display it on mobile, desktop or both.
-
Languages can have a different direction of writing and reading? While languages such as English are written and read from left to right, other languages might follow the right-to-left style of script. Just considering the sheer number of language speakers, it is obvious that Buttonizer could not stay behind and has made sure to reserve the layout of the user interface to support right-to-left languages.
-
Facebook Feeds don’t work in Mozilla Firefox
-
- If Facebook Feeds work great in all browsers except Mozilla Firefox, it’s related to the setting “Use protection against tracking in private window” which can be disabled. This is enabled by default in Firefox, and unrelated to the plugin itself.
-
Facebook Feeds work on some computers, but not others
-
- There are 2 possible causes:
1) Anti-virus software is blocking it from loading. Some users have reported this issue in the past. You can verify this by temporarily disabling your anti-virus.
2) Your browser has an ad-blocking extension installed that may cause the feed not to load.
