<h3>How It Works</h3>
<p>The plugin integrates with WordPress’s email system to capture form submissions and redirect them to WhatsApp using the BeepMate API. It works alongside your existing email notifications, ensuring you never miss an important message.<br />
You do not need to configure SMTP or any mailer settings (unless you want to) – it works even without a mailer.</p>

<h3>Technical Details</h3>
<h3>How It Works Technically</h3>
<p>BeepMate intercepts WordPress emails at the PHPMailer level, right before they’re sent. When a form is submitted:</p>
<ol>
<li>The plugin hooks into <code>phpmailer_init</code> to capture the email content</li>
<li>It extracts the recipient, subject, message body, and any attachments</li>
<li>The information is formatted for WhatsApp</li>
<li>The plugin connects to the BeepMate API using one of two methods (wp_removew or file_get_contents)</li>
<li>The message is delivered to your configured WhatsApp number</li>
</ol>
<p>All of this happens without modifying your existing forms or email system.</p>
<h3>Configuration Options</h3>
<p><strong>BeepMate API Key</strong>: Your unique API key from BeepMate that authorizes the connection.</p>
<p><strong>User ID</strong>: The phone number (with country code, no spaces or symbols) that will receive the WhatsApp messages.</p>
<p><strong>Redirect All Forms</strong>: When set to “Yes,” all form submissions will be sent to WhatsApp. When “No,” the plugin remains inactive.</p>
<p><strong>API Method</strong>: The technical approach used to connect to the BeepMate API:<br />
– <strong>wp_remote</strong>: The recommended method, works on most servers.<br />
– <strong>file_get_contents</strong>: An alternative if wp_remote is disabled on your server.</p>
<p><strong>Debug Mode</strong>: Enables detailed logging for troubleshooting.</p>
<h3>Debugging</h3>
<p>If you’re experiencing issues with the plugin, you can enable Debug Mode in the settings. This will log detailed information about:<br />
– Form interceptions<br />
– Message preparation<br />
– API calls<br />
– Response codes and errors</p>
<p>Logs can be found in your WordPress debug log (if WP_DEBUG is enabled) or in your server’s PHP error log.</p>
<h3>API Structure</h3>
<p>The plugin uses BeepMate’s API with the following structure:<br />
– For text-only messages: <code>https://beepmate.io/send?key=YOUR_KEY&id=YOUR_ID&msg=MESSAGE</code><br />
– For messages with attachments: A POST request to <code>https://beepmate.io/send</code> with multipart/form-data</p>
<h3>Security Considerations</h3>
<p>The plugin:<br />
– Sanitizes all user input<br />
– Uses WordPress nonces for form submissions<br />
– Checks user capabilities before allowing settings changes<br />
– Hides the API key in logs<br />
– Properly escapes all output</p>
<h3>Extending the Plugin</h3>
<p>Developers can hook into the plugin’s functionality using these functions:<br />
– <code>beepmate_whatsapp_forms_prepare_message</code>: Formats message content for WhatsApp<br />
– <code>beepmate_whatsapp_forms_send_to_beepmate</code>: Handles the API connection<br />
– <code>beepmate_whatsapp_forms_debug</code>: Controls debug logging</p>
<h3>Known Limitations</h3>
<ul>
<li>Currently supports sending to a single WhatsApp number</li>
<li>Depends on the standard WordPress email system being used by forms</li>
<li>Some form plugins that implement custom email sending may not be compatible</li>
</ul>
