Connect your website Copy the LiveEngage Tag onto your website pages. The first task is connecting your website to our software. It s called tagging. A tag is a snippet of HTML code that you insert on your web pages. We suggest that you tag all of your pages. Here s how it s done. Once you are logged in to LiveEngage: 1. Open the menu at the top right hand of your screen (the down arrow button). Click on LiveEngage Tag and copy the code. 2. It looks like a big chunk of code. Don t be alarmed. Look at the visual on this page before you access your website s source code (HTML) for the pages you have chosen to tag, and paste the LiveEngage code beneath the first <body> tag you ll find at the top of your page.
