<h3>External services</h3>
This plugin connects to the CauserieBot service to provide chatbot functionality. The connection to this external service is required for the plugin to work.
1. CauserieBot API — fetching the chatbot list
When you click “Load my chatbots” in the settings page, the plugin sends an authenticated request to <code>https://dashboard.causeriebot.com/api/public/chatbots</code> with your API key in the <code>Authorization</code> header to retrieve the list of chatbots associated with your CauserieBot account.
<ul>
<li>Data sent: your CauserieBot API key.</li>
<li>When: only on demand, when you click “Load my chatbots” from the settings page. No data is sent automatically.</li>
</ul>
2. CauserieBot widget — front-end chatbot
When the chatbot is enabled, the plugin loads a JavaScript file from <code>https://dashboard.causeriebot.com/widget.js</code> on the public side of your site. This widget displays the chatbot interface and communicates with CauserieBot servers to process visitor messages.
<ul>
<li>Data sent: the selected chatbot ID (server-side), then on the visitor side, the messages typed into the chatbot as well as standard browsing metadata (user agent, IP address, referrer) collected by CauserieBot to provide the service.</li>
<li>When: on every public page of the site when the chatbot is enabled.</li>
</ul>
This service is provided by CauserieBot. By using this plugin you agree to the CauserieBot terms and privacy policy:
