Installation

On your site in ten minutes

Two routes: the WordPress plugin (recommended) or one snippet for any other site. Both use the same keys from your room settings; the keys stay on your server, never in the browser.

1. Create a room and an integration

  1. Sign in and create a room — that is your reply space.
  2. Open Embedding in the room menu and create an integration for your website (name and allowed origins). You get an integration ID and a secret key for the website sign-in.
  3. Choose the strictness (mild, normal, strict) and whether doubtful messages stay visible, under the room settings.

2. WordPress

  1. Install the plugin and activate it.
  2. Fill in the platform address, the integration ID and the secret key in the plugin settings.
  3. Put the block in your post template or use the shortcode with the article mode. The conversation appears per article at the first reply; permalink and title are passed automatically.
  4. Signed-in WordPress readers join with their site account; signing out of WordPress also ends the chat session.

3. Any other site: one snippet

<script async src="https://hanglobby.com/embed/v1.js"
  data-target="common-chat"
  data-integration="int_…"
  data-group="grp_…"
  data-mode="article"></script>
<div id="common-chat"></div>

The article mode ties the conversation to the canonical URL of the page; the theme, language and tab attributes steer the display. For sign-in with your own accounts, point the sign-in endpoint at a small route on your server that signs the assertion with the secret key — the explanation is under Embedding in your room.

4. Moderating

Your dashboard sits with your room: tiles from real counts, a queue you handle in three clicks, and the monthly report. Doubt goes to a person; hiding happens only at high certainty, with a reason and an appeal.
