Question

I found these new strings in your shipped crow-widget.js: https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=${u}&display=swap`,document.head.appendChild(h. What do they correspond to in Crow’s product (features, tools, or APIs), and how are they intended to be used?

Answer

Good eye! That code snippet is part of the Crow widget’s font customization system, not a standalone feature or API.

Here’s what it does:

What This Code Does

This JavaScript dynamically loads Google Fonts into the page where the Crow chat widget is embedded. The ${u} variable contains a font family name (like “Inter” or “Roboto”), and the code:

  1. Creates a URL to Google Fonts API with that font family
  2. Appends a <link> element to the page’s <head> to load the font

How It’s Used in Crow

This is part of the widget theming/customization system. When companies configure their Crow chat agent, they can:

  • Choose custom fonts to match their brand
  • The widget automatically loads those fonts from Google Fonts
  • This keeps the widget visually consistent with the host application

Technical Details

  • Not a separate API - it’s internal widget functionality
  • Automatic loading - happens when the widget initializes if a custom font is configured
  • Performance optimized - uses display=swap to prevent blocking text rendering

If you’re looking to customize your Crow agent’s appearance, including fonts, I’d recommend checking out the configuration options in the Crow app at app.usecrow.ai or the documentation for theming options.
