<h3>External services</h3>
This plugin connects to an external service to provide live chatbot functionality via an embeddable widget.
It loads a JavaScript file from <code>https://app.shipable.ai/agent-chat/chatbox.min.js</code> to display the chat interface. This script is required for the plugin to work correctly.
When the script is loaded, the following data may be transmitted to the external service: 
– User’s IP address 
– Browser and device information (user agent) 
– The URL of the page where the widget is embedded
When a user interacts with the chatbot, the conversation history is sent to and stored by Shipable AI. This may include any data the user voluntarily submits via the chat (e.g., email address, questions, etc.).
All chatbot logic and data storage are handled externally via the user’s Shipable account.

Agent & Department Management 
– Agents are standard WordPress users with the Ticket Agent role — create them from Users → Add New. 
– Each agent gets a custom Chat Bubble Display Name (e.g. “Billing Dept”, “Sales Team”) shown to customers in the chat bubble — completely separate from their WordPress display name. 
– Upload a custom avatar per agent via the Settings page using the WordPress Media Library. 
– Avatars and department names appear in the chat bubble, ticket list, ticket detail view, and the frontend customer portal.
Chat Bubble 
– A floating chat bubble appears on every page of your site, letting customers open a new support ticket in seconds. 
– The bubble header shows stacked agent avatars and a live green online indicator next to the “Support” label. 
– Customers choose a department/agent from a dropdown that shows the custom bubble display names. 
– The close (×) button reliably dismisses the form.
Ticket Lifecycle 
– Every ticket gets a unique ID (e.g. ZT-XXXXXXXX) for easy reference and lookup. 
– Statuses: New (blue), In Progress (orange), Solved (green), Closed (grey). 
– Unlimited back-and-forth conversation with image attachments in every reply. 
– Both agents/admins and customers can close tickets; closed tickets disable further replies.
Agent Assignment & Transfer 
– Tickets submitted via the chat bubble are automatically assigned to the chosen agent. 
– Agents see all tickets assigned to them plus all unassigned tickets in their list. 
– When an agent replies to an unassigned ticket, it is automatically assigned to them. 
– Any agent or admin can transfer a ticket to another agent at any time via the Assignment meta box. 
– Once transferred, only the new assignee and admins can reply.
Admin Interface 
– Dashboard — stats overview (total, new, in progress, solved, closed), recent tickets table, and team overview with open ticket counts per agent. 
– All Tickets — beautifully styled ticket list with card rows, colour-coded status border accents, ticket number chips, stacked customer info, agent avatars, and inline row actions. 
– Ticket Detail — structured details panel, chat-bubble conversation thread (agent right/blue, customer left/green), and a clean reply composer with image attachment support. 
– Create Ticket — agents and admins can create tickets on a customer’s behalf with an agent picker showing avatars. 
– Settings — unified agent table pulling directly from WordPress users; set the Chat Bubble Display Name and avatar per agent; configure the frontend Ticket View Page URL.
Frontend Customer Portal & Shortcodes 
– Shortcode <code>[zupportly_tickets]</code> places a ticket lookup portal on any page. Customers enter their email to see all their tickets, or enter their email and ticket number to jump straight to a specific conversation. 
– Shortcode <code>[zupportly_ticket_form]</code> embeds the full ticket submission form directly on any page — great when the floating chat bubble is turned off or you want a dedicated contact/support page. 
– Modern card design with a gradient header, status pill, chat-style bubbles with agent avatars, and an inline reply input. 
– The ticket view is wider and fully responsive for mobile.
Email Notifications 
– Agent notified on new ticket assignment with ticket details. 
– Customer receives confirmation on submission with their ticket number and a link to the view page. 
– Both parties notified on new replies (with image links if attached). 
– Ticket view page URL included in all notification emails.
Security & Performance 
– All inputs sanitized and escaped. Nonces on every AJAX action. 
– Agents only access their own tickets plus unassigned ones — proper capability checks throughout. 
– All data stored in your own WordPress database — nothing leaves your server.

<h4>🧩 Custom Form Fields</h4>
Add unlimited custom fields to your ticket form — short text, long text, dropdown, checkbox, number, and URL types. Drag and drop to reorder every field (including built-in fields like Name, Email, Subject) in any order you want. Rename any field label and set custom placeholder text. Custom field values are saved with every ticket and displayed in the admin ticket view.
<h4>📚 Knowledge Base</h4>
Create a full Knowledge Base with categorised articles and a professional article layout. A smart suggestion popup appears directly below the Subject field as customers type — showing matching articles before they submit, reducing your ticket volume. Helpful vote counters (👍 Yes / 👎 No) track article usefulness. Agents can search KB articles from inside any ticket. Mark any WordPress Page or Post as a KB article with one click.
<h4>⚡ Canned Responses</h4>
Speed up replies with one-click pre-written responses. Agents can insert responses from a searchable modal filtered by category. Agents can also save their own personal responses directly from the reply composer — just write a reply and click “💾 Save Current Reply.”
<h4>🛒 WooCommerce Integration</h4>
Link WooCommerce orders and products to support tickets. Customers can search by Order ID when submitting a ticket. Agents see full order details, purchase history, and linked products in the ticket sidebar. Configurable agent access permissions — restrict order data to admins only if needed.
<h4>✉️ Branded HTML Emails</h4>
Replace plain-text notification emails with beautifully designed HTML emails. Upload your logo, choose a brand colour, customise the “From” name and footer text. Includes a live browser preview.
<h4>⏱ Ticket Auto-Close</h4>
Automatically close tickets that have been inactive for a configurable number of days. Sends a reminder email before closure. Choose which ticket statuses to apply auto-close to.
<h4>🔒 Private Notes</h4>
Agents can add internal-only notes to any ticket. Private notes are stored separately from the conversation thread and are never shown to customers.
<h4>⭐ CSAT Surveys</h4>
Automatically send a 1–5 star satisfaction survey when a ticket closes — via email and as an inline widget in the customer portal. Results appear in a WP Dashboard widget showing average score and per-star breakdown.
<h4>🔔 Auto-Refresh & Live Updates</h4>
Configurable auto-refresh keeps the dashboard and ticket list current. A Refresh button with a live unread count badge is added to the dashboard. Set the refresh interval (15–600 seconds) from Pro Settings.
<h4>🏷 Custom Ticket Statuses</h4>
Add unlimited custom statuses alongside the four built-in ones. Each status has a custom label, URL slug, and colour picker for visual clarity in the ticket list.
<h4>📋 Audit Trail & Activity Logs</h4>
Every action on every ticket is automatically logged — replies, status changes, assignments, private notes, auto-closes, and CSAT ratings. View per-ticket logs in the Activity Log meta box. Export as Excel/CSV or print as PDF.
<h4>💾 Backup & Restore</h4>
One-click JSON export of all tickets and Pro settings. Import on any Zupportly site to restore or migrate data.
