How to embed.

Two snippets. One fallback. Zero framework taxes. The widget loads async, renders inside a Shadow DOM, and emits schema.org JSON-LD to your page's <head> for rich-result eligibility.

1. Standard script embed

Paste this anywhere on your site. The data-plauditly-widget value is either a widget public ID (wgt_…) or a project slug. Find both in your dashboard.

<div data-plauditly-widget="wgt_YOUR_ID"></div>
<script async src="https://plauditly.app/embed/v1/embed.js"></script>

2. iframe fallback

For site builders that block custom scripts (some Framer / Webflow setups), use an iframe instead. Same widget, no JavaScript on the host page.

<iframe src="https://plauditly.app/embed/iframe/wgt_YOUR_ID"
        width="100%" height="600" frameborder="0" style="border:0"></iframe>

3. What's in the response

The widget fetches a single JSON document. Anyone can call the API directly to integrate further:

GET https://plauditly.app/api/widgets/wgt_YOUR_ID

{
  "project": { "name": "...", "slug": "...", "brand_color": "#..." },
  "widget":  { "public_id": "wgt_...", "type": "wall", "config": {...}, "showBadge": true },
  "testimonials": [
    { "id": "...", "author_name": "...", "author_role": "...",
      "author_company": "...", "rating": 5, "body": "...", "pinned": false,
      "created_at": "..." }
  ]
}

Privacy invariant: author_email is collected on the form but is structurally absent from this response. It's stored in a separate column the public API never reads.

4. Style isolation

The widget renders inside a Shadow DOM. Your site's CSS can't reach inside it, and the widget's CSS can't leak out. You can paste it next to a brutalist landing page or a Material-Design app — it renders the same.

5. Caching

The JSON endpoint sits behind a 5-minute edge cache with stale-while-revalidate. Cache busts the instant you approve, edit, or hide a testimonial. No manual invalidation needed.
