Embed the AI representative on a Drupal

By aninditoUpdated 4 Mar 2026

Drupal allows you to embed external scripts or components.

You can add the Privas AI representative by inserting the Privas embed script.

This guide explains how to install the Privas AI widget on a Drupal website.

Part 1 — Enable Block Content Module

Before adding the chatbot embed code, make sure the Block Content module is enabled.

Why this matters

Block Content allows you to create reusable content blocks.

This affects your content structure only.

It does not modify your theme, layout, or existing pages.

Step 1 — Enable Block Content

  1. Log in to your Drupal Admin Dashboard.
  2. In the left menu, click Extend.
  3. Under the List tab, search for Block Content.
  4. Check the box next to it.
  5. Click Install in the top-right corner.

Step 2 — Create a Block Type

  1. In the left menu, click Structure.
  2. Select Block Types.

    • Enable Create New Revision if you want version history
  2. Click Save.

What This Installation Does — and Does Not Do

This installation:

✔ Displays your assistant in the selected region
✔ Loads automatically for visitors
✔ Works independently from Drupal modules

It does NOT:

✘ Modify your theme structure
✘ Change navigation menus
✘ Affect user roles or permissions
✘ Alter SEO settings

The widget simply connects your Drupal site to your configured Privas AI domain.

Optional — Install Site-Wide via Template (Advanced)

If you prefer to load the assistant globally:

  1. Go to Appearance → Theme Settings.
  2. Edit your active theme template.
  3. Paste the embed code before the closing </body> tag.
  4. Save changes.

This affects all pages.

It does not modify content.

If the Widget Does Not Appear

  • Clear site cache
  • Make sure the block is visible to all users
  • Confirm the embed code was pasted in Source mode
  • Verify JavaScript is not being filtered by text format settings

Next Step

Continue to Test the Representative.

Before sharing publicly, confirm that your assistant represents your business clearly and accurately.
