We're Moving to a New Support Platform – Starting June 1st!
We’re excited to let you know that starting June 1st, we’ll be transitioning to a new support system that will be available directly on our product websites – Amelia, wpDataTables, and Report Builder. In fact, the new support platform is already live for Amelia and wpDataTables, and we encourage you to reach out to us there.
You'll always be able to reach us through a widget in the bottom right corner of each website, where you can ask questions, report issues, or simply get assistance.
While we still do not offer live support, a new advanced, AI-powered assistant, trained on our documentation, use cases, and real conversations with our team, is there to help with basic to intermediate questions in no time.
We're doing our best to make this transition smooth and hassle-free. After June 1st, this current support website will redirect you to the new "Contact Us" pages on our product sites.
Thanks for your continued support and trust – we’re excited to bring you an even better support experience!
Hi! I need Amelia to be launched with a button. I tried to look over some help in the internet and YouTube but couldn’t find.
Do you have any instructions on this subject?
Hello Oleksandra,
Thank you for reaching out to us.
At the moment, Amelia can be used in popups only with Elementor.
When you have created Employees, services and/or events in Amelia, you can add them on front-end using our shortcodes, which are explained in detail in the article "Amelia Shortcodes and Front-end implementation".
In Elementor widgets, simply search for “Amelia” in Elementor’s side bar, and drag the widget onto a page:
When it’s dragged into the page, the same parameter options seen in the Gutenberg block are shown in Elementor’s side panel:
So, to cover all options in here real quick:
First, you need to actually create a Popup in Elementor, following Elementor's tutorial here.
We added a shortcode for the popup - it needs to have the ID of the button that is calling the popup, so this is
how one of the shortcodes should look like in the Elementor pop-up:
[ameliabooking trigger=amelia-button-id]
So, if the button ID is "my-popup-button" it will be:
[ameliabooking trigger=my-popup-button]
So, you create a Popup and add this shortcode in the popup.
Please note: At the moment, you cannot use Elementor's Amelia widgets in the popup, so when configuring the popup, make sure to add the "Shortcode" widget, and manually type the shortcode you need:
On the bottom-left part of the screen, click on the gear symbol to access Popup Settings:
In there, go to "Advanced", and enable "Prevent Closing on Overlay":
Then, on the page - add a button, on which the popup will be called, next to the "Link" field click on "Dynamic Tags" and select "Popup" from the drop-down:
Then, click on "Popup" in the link field, and you'll see the settings for the popup. Click on the "All" drop-down, and type the name of the popup you previously created. Select it, and click away to close the settings:
In the same form, below, you will see the "Button ID" field, where you need to add the ID for the trigger (from Amelia's shortcode):
That is it - once you publish this page, when you click on the button, it will open a popup which will manually trigger the "my-popup-button" and open Amelia's booking form.
Kind Regards,
Uros Jovanovic
