Install Your Launcher On A Nucleus 1 Website

While The Launcher can be installed on virtually any website, we’re pretty partial to seeing it installed on a Nucleus website. (Though we can’t quite figure out why… 🤭)

We understand that when copying and pasting code, it can seem a little daunting. We’re confident this guide will ease any anxious feelings you may have. But if you’re not the person who manages your church’s Nucleus 1 website, it might be best to work alongside them to complete this exciting step in your Next Steps journey.

In this guide, we'll cover the following topics. Click on any one to jump ahead.

Did You Know You're Installing More Than Just The Launcher?

It’s true!

While The Launcher is powerful on its own, it’s even more effective when combined with Banners and Info Cards.

And rather than requiring multiple installation codes for each of these features, you only need to install one single code to give you access to all three. (You’re welcome 😉)

Now, installing the code by default will enable The Launcher to load on your website. Banners and Info cards are features that you can use whenever you’d like. They can both be managed within your Next Steps area of your Nucleus Dashboard.

To learn more about each of these features, click below. But be careful not to get sidetracked. You still need to install The Launcher on your website 😁

Preview & Test Your Launcher

Installing The Launcher on your website is incredibly exciting, because that means you’re one step away from finally seeing it live and in action on your website!

But rein in that excitement for one moment. Before you install The Launcher on your church’s website, it's always a good idea to check things out before you go live to make sure everything looks good and you've linked up things properly. If you have time, look at the list below for a quick list of things to try.

Making sure The Launcher looks and functions the way you want is an important step to take before installing it on your website. You can preview The Launcher by clicking the preview button in the top right hand corner. If you don't see it, try scrolling up and it should appear. 

What To Test 


  1. Look at any text from the Discovery Message, The Launcher title, and the “see more” button if applicable (meaning you have more than 4-5 action items in your Launcher). Does it all look good to you? If not, you can make adjustments here. 
  2. Look at your logo, The Launcher color, and button to see if any adjustments need to be done. Need to make some edits? Click here. 
  3. Review your featured action item (if enabled) to make sure it looks correct. If you need to change something about that, click here. 
  4. Review the order of your action items and rearrange them here if needed.
  5. If you’re using Nucleus Prayer, submit a test prayer and view the Prayer Wall.
  6. If you’re using Nucleus Giving and your giving account is fully active, consider submitting a donation to try it out. (NOTE: this will be a real donation) 
  7. If you’re using Nucleus Flows, click on each one to make sure they open and are linked to the correct Flow. 
  8. If you have any external links added to action items, click on each one to make sure the links work as intended. 
  9. Try signing in and out of The Launcher itself.

Add & Manage Your Website URL(s)

Once you’ve tested out The Launcher and are happy with how everything looks and works, it’s time to add your website URLs.

There are two parts to installing The Launcher. This first part, adding a website URL, tells Nucleus that this is a safe website to load on. The second part is the actual installation code that needs to be added to your website. Having both steps adds a layer of security to make sure The Launcher doesn’t load on sites it shouldn’t.

Under the Install Section of your Next Steps Launcher, click the "Add URL Now" button to add your URL to The Launcher. Remember to not just add the naked/root domain, you must include the appropriate http:// or https://. To avoid any mistake, it’s best to just go to your church’s website homepage and copy and paste exactly what appears in the address bar of your browser.

You can add as many URLs as you’d like. This is helpful in instances where you might have more than one church website or perhaps if you have a landing page for an event, but want your entire Launcher to show up there. In this example, a landing page for an event, if you’re using Nucleus Flows to receive sign-ups, it might be helpful to install only that Flow on the landing page, rather than your entire Launcher.

If you ever want to delete a URL from your install section, simply click "delete" beside the URL you wish to remove in the status section. 

Any changes you make should automatically save once you've made them.

Select Your Preferred Default Size Of The Launcher

While anyone accessing The Launcher can adjust the size of it from opening in just the corner of your website to covering the entire screen, you have the ability to set the preferred default size that it opens up upon someone’s first interaction with The Launcher.

Select “prefer smaller” to have The Launcher open in just the corner of your website.

Select “prefer larger” to have The Launcher open over your entire website to better capture attention and focus.

Once you've done that, click save changes, and you're all set.

Paste The Install Code Into Your Nucleus Website

Now comes the fun part: actually installing The Launcher on your website. (We promise it’s not as scary as it sounds! 😄) Feel free to pass these instructions along to whomever manages your Nucleus 1 website.

The first step is to copy the install code which can be found under the installation code tab in the install section of The Launcher.  

Once you've copied the code, login to your Nucleus 1 account here and go to settings > code injection. Then simply paste in your code and make sure to save your changes.

What If My Launcher Isn't Loading?

If, after you’ve followed this guide, you’ve reloaded your site and The Launcher is not loading after a few seconds, it’s time to double check the following:

  1. Are your website URLs entered correctly? Do they have the correct http:// or https://?
  2. Review your installation code. Try copying it again from your Nucleus 2 Dashboard. Go back to your Nucleus 1 Dashboard, delete the code you just added, and then paste the code back into your Code Injection field.

Is The Launcher still not loading correctly - or at all? Send us a message: hello@nucleus.church 💻
