If you'd like to engage visitors on your website more effectively, you can create a chatbot to answer queries, gather information, and schedule appointments. This tutorial demonstrates how to embed a small chat widget on your site and connect it to an n8n workflow. The included n8n template handles incoming messages and can optionally link to a Microsoft Outlook calendar for booking.
The best part? You can do this entirely free of charge using self-hosted n8n (or any n8n service you already have) and a small JavaScript snippet that you insert into your website's code.
