Create the widget in Fugte
Start from the Message in the Bottle starter, generate a variation with the built-in AI, or paste your own code.
Step by step
Embed the Message in the Bottle in your Webflow site.
Customize and publish it in Fugte
Text, colors, images, numbers, and options are no-code settings, so you can match your branding without touching code. Publishing gives the Message in the Bottle a stable hosted link and an embed snippet.
Drag in an Embed element
In the Webflow Designer, drag an Embed element from the Add panel to where the widget should sit and paste the embed snippet into the code editor.
Publish the site
Save and publish. The Message in the Bottle renders live on the published site; later content changes happen in the widget editor, with no republish needed.
Good to know
Webflow specifics worth planning around.
Webflow's custom-code Embed element requires a paid Webflow site plan. On free staging domains, you can link to the hosted widget page instead.
The embed snippet is a few lines, so it uses almost none of the Embed element character limit.
The widget is hosted and sandboxed, so it cannot conflict with Webflow interactions or custom code elsewhere on the page.
Content edits in the widget editor go live immediately, useful when a client wants copy changes but you do not want to republish the Webflow project.

FAQ
Common questions.
Can I add the Message in the Bottle on a free Webflow plan?
The Embed element needs a paid site plan. On free plans you can still add a link or button pointing to the hosted widget page.
Does the Message in the Bottle count against Webflow CMS or code limits?
No CMS items are used, and the embed snippet is small. The widget itself is served from an external CDN, not stored in Webflow.
Can a client edit the widget without Designer access?
Yes, that is a common setup. The client edits text, colors, and offers through Fugte's no-code settings; the Webflow layout stays locked.
