Zero-configuration
Direct Follow creates a normal button beside the script. The website’s existing button CSS can style it automatically. It follows the exact current page URL unless an explicit data-url overrides that source.
Fully native
For exact placement and appearance, the website owns the button element and its styling while Direct Follow adds the follow behavior.
<button type="button" class="your-button-class" data-directfollow>⊕ Follow</button>
<script src="https://directfollow.com/widget.js" async></script>Optional classes
A generated button can receive existing website classes through data-class.
<script src="https://directfollow.com/widget.js" data-class="button button-primary" async></script>How following works
- A visitor opens the delivery-channel picker for a source.
- Direct Follow validates and discovers the source only after a delivery channel is selected.
- The selected delivery channel completes the follow and receives future updates.
