Step 2: Add Overlay with Redirect URL

Searches in the overlay panel can optionally redirect the user to a full page, instead of showing them inline.

To add the overlay with a redirect URL, you’ll need:

Color(s) for the button, overlay panel background and text.
A panel heading and description.
Hardcoded prompts.
Your Search Results Page URL (domain) that you want to redirect users to. To set this up, follow the instructions here.
Your experiencePath, which will be provided by your Yext Administrator.

The above information should be included in the Search Overlay Script Tag, like this:

<html>
<head>
   <!-- head stuff here -->
</head>
<body>
  <!-- other body stuff here -->

  <!-- begin Search Overlay Script Tag -->
  <script type="text/javascript" async src="REPLACE_ME_SEARCH_RESULTS_URL/overlay.js"></script>

  <script>
  window.YxtAnswersOverlaySettings = {
      domain: "REPLACE_ME_SEARCH_RESULTS_URL",
      experiencePath: "REPLACE_ME_EXPERIENCE_PATH",
      button: {
        alignment: 'right',
        color: { //update with your desired colors
          background: '#808080',
          text: '#FFFFFF'
        },
      },
      panel: {
        header: "We're here to help.", //update with your desired header
        subtitle: "Find frequently asked questions and resources.", //update with your desired subtitle
        color: { //update with your desired colors
          background: '#808080',
          text: '#FFFFFF'
        },
      },
      prompts: [ //update with your desired prompts
        {
          text: "Locations near me",
          url: "REPLACE_ME_SEARCH_RESULTS_URL?query=Locations near me",
          target: "_top"
        },
        {
          text: "Do you have gift cards",
          url: "REPLACE_ME_SEARCH_RESULTS_URL?query=Do you have gift cards",
          target: "_top"
        },
        {
          text: "Operations & COVID-19",
          url: "REPLACE_ME_SEARCH_RESULTS_URL}?query=Operations & COVID-19",
          target: "_top"
        },
        {
          text: "How do I log in?",
          url: "REPLACE_ME_SEARCH_RESULTS_URL}?query=How do I log in?",
          target: "_top"
        },
      ]
    };
  </script>
  <!-- end Search Overlay Script Tag -->
