Local Architecture
FAQ matching, session management, and message storage happens inside WordPress.
- Session cookies
- WordPress Privacy Data Exporter & Eraser integration
- Configurable retention limits
WORDPRESS PLUGIN / IN DEVELOPMENT
In development. A local text-support and configurable presentation study; any voice or external processing remains an explicit future/opt-in decision.
HOW IT WORKS
FAQ matching, session management, and message storage happens inside WordPress.
Desktop: compact floating card. Mobile: full-viewport overlay bound to window.visualViewport to prevent keyboard clipping. Keyboard accessible.
Dedicated admin screen with conversation management: view threads, reply, close, search, and bulk actions. Capability-gated to manage_support_chat_inbox.
When business hours end, the chat automatically transitions to an offline contact form. Messages are queued for the admin inbox.
DEVELOPMENT ROADMAP
Storefront chat widget, local FAQ matching, business hours, admin inbox, WordPress Privacy API integration.
Planned: AI-powered smart responses, sentiment detection, intelligent escalation rules, and contextual product recommendations.
Planned: VoIP integration, call recording, voice transcription, and a unified inbox spanning text, voice, and email channels.
CURRENT LIMITATIONS
No file attachments, image uploads, or rich media in chat messages. Phase 1 is strictly text-based.
Admin inbox uses HTTP polling, not WebSockets. There is a slight delay in message delivery.
All conversations go to one inbox. No department routing, agent assignment, or SLA tracking.
Neither the visitor nor the admin sees a typing indicator during conversations.
Formal multi-browser device testing and certified accessibility audits have not yet been conducted.
NEXT STEP
We will assess your support workflow, business hours, and FAQ structure to determine if this plugin fits your needs.
