How to Integrate IBM Watson with Wix

January 24, 2025

Learn to seamlessly connect IBM Watson with your Wix website to enhance user interaction and utilize AI-powered features in just a few simple steps.

How to Connect IBM Watson to Wix: a Simple Guide

 

Integrate IBM Watson with Wix

 

  • Sign up for an IBM Cloud account to access IBM Watson services. Choose the specific Watson service you want to integrate, such as Watson Assistant, Speech to Text, or Visual Recognition. Once selected, create an instance of the service and take note of your API key and endpoint URL.
  •  

  • Log in to your Wix account and open the website editor for the site you want to integrate IBM Watson with. Wix provides an option for adding custom code, which you will use to connect Watson with your site functions.

 

Set Up Your Wix Environment

 

  • In the Wix Editor, navigate to the "Settings" section, and choose "Tracking & Analytics" from the options. Here, you'll be able to enter custom code snippets that will run on your website.
  •  

  • You may also need to enable developer tools by turning on "Dev Mode" (previously called Corvid) in Wix, allowing you to use advanced coding features and APIs that Wix provides.

 

Create API Requests to IBM Watson

 

  • Using JavaScript, write functions to call IBM Watson's API. You'll need to construct HTTP requests using the fetch API or Axios library, incorporating your Watson API credentials.
  •  

  • Create a new file in the Wix editor for the backend code. This is where you'll write the JavaScript required to communicate with the IBM Watson service.
  •  

  • Example using fetch in JavaScript:

 

import {fetch} from 'wix-fetch';

async function callWatsonAPI(inputData) {
  const apiKey = 'your-ibm-api-key';
  const url = 'https://api.us-south.assistant.watson.cloud.ibm.com/instances/instance-id/v1/workspaces/workspace-id/message?version=2018-09-20';

  const response = await fetch(url, {
    method: 'POST',
    headers: {
      'Content-Type': 'application/json',
      'Authorization': `Bearer ${apiKey}`
    },
    body: JSON.stringify({
      input: {
        text: inputData
      }
    })
  });

  return response.json();
}

 

Connect Watson with Wix Frontend

 

  • Make sure your frontend code in the Wix Editor calls the API request whenever necessary. This could be on a button click, form submission or any event that you want to trigger Watson's capabilities.
  •  

  • Use Wix's event handlers like onClick event, to execute the function that will interact with IBM Watson.
  •  

  • Example of a simple integration on click:

 

$w.onReady(function () {
  $w('#button1').onClick(async () => {
    const userInput = $w('#input1').value;
    const watsonResponse = await callWatsonAPI(userInput);
    $w('#textOutput').text = watsonResponse.output.text[0];
  });
});

 

Test Your Integration

 

  • Save and preview your Wix site to test the integration. Enter data into your configured input fields and ensure that the response from IBM Watson displays as expected on your Wix site, reflecting the processing of input data.
  •  

  • Debug any issues using Wix's console logs and inspect the network activity in your browser's developer tools to ensure that requests are correctly formatted and responses are processed as intended.

Troubleshooting IBM Watson and Wix Integration

Why isn't IBM Watson responding to queries on my Wix site?

 

Troubleshoot Integration Issues

 

  • Verify your IBM Watson API keys and ensure they are correctly set in your Wix site. Incorrect configuration can prevent successful query processing.
  •  

  • Ensure that your Wix site has network access to IBM Watson services. Firewall or DNS issues could block requests.

 

// Example: Setting up the Watson SDK
const AssistantV2 = require('ibm-watson/assistant/v2');
const { IamAuthenticator } = require('ibm-watson/auth');
const assistant = new AssistantV2({
    version: '2021-06-14',
    authenticator: new IamAuthenticator({
        apikey: 'your-api-key'
    }),
    serviceUrl: 'https://api.us-south.assistant.watson.cloud.ibm.com',
});

 

Check API Response

 

  • Use browser developer tools to inspect network requests and verify if IBM Watson returns any errors or unrecognized responses.
  •  

  • Review console logs for error messages or exceptions that may give clues about failed integrations.

 

// Example: Handling errors
assistant.message({
    assistantId: 'your-assistant-id',
    sessionId: 'your-session-id',
    input: {
        'message_type': 'text',
        'text': 'Hello'
    }
})
.then(response => {
    console.log(response.result.output.generic);
})
.catch(err => {
    console.error('Error:', err);
});

How do I connect IBM Watson Assistant to Wix?

 

Create IBM Watson Assistant

 

  • Log in to IBM Cloud and navigate to Watson Assistant. Create a new assistant instance.
  •  

  • Design and train your assistant with intents, entities, and dialog.

 

Publish IBM Watson Assistant

 

  • Deploy your assistant and grab the provided API credentials (API key and URL).

 

Embed in Wix

 

  • Open your Wix Editor and navigate to the page where you want the assistant.
  •  

  • Click on "Add" button, select "More" > "Embed a Widget".
  •  

  • Select "HTML iframe" and paste the following code in the HTML/CSS code block:

 

<iframe
  src="https://assistant-chat-us-south.watsonplatform.net/your-instance-id"
  width="350" height="430" frameborder="0">
</iframe>

 

  • Replace `your-instance-id` with your actual Watson Assistant ID and adjust dimensions as necessary.
  •  

  • Save and publish your Wix site.

 

Why is the IBM Watson chat widget not displaying correctly on Wix?

 

Check Integration Steps

 

  • Verify all JavaScript snippets provided by IBM Watson are correctly embedded in your Wix site's HTML settings.
  •  

  • Make sure to place script tags in the header or body as recommended by IBM Watson's documentation.

 

<script src="https://web-chat.global.assistant.watson.appdomain.cloud/versions/latest/WatsonAssistantChatEntry.js"></script>

 

Review Compatibility Issues

 

  • Ensure your Wix site template isn't blocking external scripts. Some templates may have restrictive content security policies.
  •  

  • Consider testing the widget on a simpler Wix page layout to rule out conflicts from custom scripts.

 

Test Load Scripts Order

 

  • Sometimes, widgets load incorrectly due to the order of script execution. Check that Watson scripts are loaded after Wix page content.

 

Troubleshoot with Browser Tools

 

  • Use browser developer tools (F12) to check for JavaScript errors in the console, which could provide more insight.
