thesaasfactory

<p><strong>teleCast</strong> connects your Telegram group to your WordPress website, turning it into a live chat system (aka “widget”) your visitors can use directly from any page where you place our shortcode.</p>
<p><strong>IMPORTANT</strong></p>
<p>This plugin requires an account at thesaasfactory.net to function. There is a one-time registration fee of USD15.00 to onboard. If you wish to use the translation option then you will also need to top up translation credit once an initial 50000 characters have been used for evaluation/testing. Pre-purchase of 1M (one million) characters costs USD25.00.</p>
<p>The plugin loads the teleCast widget JavaScript from thesaasfactory.net servers, and all chat messages are relayed through the teleCast service to enable real-time communication between your website and Telegram. Our translation services are powered by DeepL Pro. Available languages therefore match those available from DeepL.</p>

<h3>How it works</h3>
<ol>
<li>Visitors send messages through the widget on your WordPress site </li>
<li>Messages are transmitted to thesaasfactory.net servers via WebSocket connection </li>
<li>thesaasfactory.net relays messages to your Telegram group </li>
<li>Replies from your Telegram group follow the same path back to your website visitors </li>
<li>Messages are translated in both directions when visitors use a different language than your group</li>
</ol>
<p>Messages flow in both directions — visitors on your site chat with your Telegram group in real time. No page reloads, no polling delays. teleCast uses a persistent WebSocket connection for instant delivery and harnesses the power of Telegram bots to place/read messages in the group.</p>
<h3>Key features</h3>
<p><strong>Telegram bridge</strong><br />
— your Telegram group becomes your chat backend. Manage conversations from any device using the Telegram app you already use and know.</p>
<p><strong>Real-time, bi-directional</strong><br />
— messages from your Telegram group appear almost instantly in the widget, and visitor messages appear in your group.</p>
<p><strong>Multilingual translation</strong><br />
— teleCast includes English and your choice of a second language. Messages are automatically translated in both directions so visitors and group members can communicate naturally in their own language. Powered by DeepL Pro.</p>
<p><strong>Shadow DOM isolation</strong><br />
— the widget is fully isolated from your theme’s CSS. It looks great on any site without style conflicts but may be further customized if desired. Light and dark themes are configured with a simple attribute but more options are available for precise styling.</p>
<p><strong>Simple shortcode</strong><br />
— add <code>[telecast token="YOUR_TOKEN" channel="your-channel"]</code> to any page or post.</p>
<p><strong>No jQuery, no dependencies</strong><br />
— a single lightweight vanilla JS file.</p>
<h3>Service requirements</h3>
<ol>
<li>Create a Telegram bot via @BotFather and add it to your group as an admin. </li>
<li>Register for an account at <a href="https://thesaasfactory.net" rel="nofollow ugc">thesaasfactory.net</a> and create a teleCast channel.</li>
<li>Add the <code>[telecast]</code> shortcode to any page with your token and channel slug.</li>
</ol>
<p>Translation credits are managed via your account at thesaasfactory.net. Recognising that some phrases are used repeatedly in chat sessions, we cache translations and try to match our cache first. All such matches are free, credits are only consumed when fresh translation is required.</p>
<h3>External Services</h3>
<p><strong>This plugin requires and relies on the teleCast service hosted at thesaasfactory.net to<br />
function.</strong></p>
<p><strong>What data is transmitted:</strong></p>
<p>When you use this plugin, the following data is sent to thesaasfactory.net:</p>
<p><strong>Chat messages</strong><br />
— All messages sent by website visitors through the widget are transmitted to thesaasfactory.net servers, which relay them to your Telegram group. Replies from your Telegram group are transmitted through thesaasfactory.net back to your website visitors.</p>
<p><strong>Visitor display names</strong><br />
— The display name entered by visitors when they start chatting is transmitted to identify the sender in your Telegram group.</p>
<p><strong>Translation requests</strong><br />
— When messages need translation (visitor language differs from group language), the message content is sent to thesaasfactory.net for translation via DeepL Pro before being relayed.</p>
<p><strong>WebSocket connections</strong><br />
— The widget establishes a persistent WebSocket connection to wss://ws.thesaasfactory.net for real-time message delivery. * <strong>Widget JavaScript</strong> — The plugin loads the teleCast widget JavaScript file from https://thesaasfactory.net/telecast/assets/telecast.js on every page where<br />
the shortcode is used.</p>
<p><strong>When data is sent:</strong><br />
– When a visitor opens a page containing the <code>[telecast]</code> shortcode (widget JavaScript loads)<br />
– When a visitor enters their name and starts chatting (WebSocket connection establishes)<br />
– Every time a message is sent or received (messages are relayed through the service)<br />
– When messages require translation (sent to DeepL Pro via thesaasfactory.net)</p>
<p><strong>Service information:</strong><br />
– Service provider: the SaaS factory (thesaasfactory.net)<br />
– Terms of Service: https://thesaasfactory.net/terms.php<br />
– Privacy Policy: https://thesaasfactory.net/privacy.php</p>
<p>By using this plugin, you acknowledge that chat messages and visitor display names will be transmitted through thesaasfactory.net servers to enable the Telegram bridge functionality. Messages are encrypted in transit but are processed by the service to enable translation and relay to Telegram.</p>


teleCast

beepmateio

<p><strong>BeepMate</strong> connects your WordPress site’s forms directly to WhatsApp. Whenever a visitor submits a form on your website, you’ll receive an instant WhatsApp message with their information.</p>
<h3>Key Benefits</h3>
<ul>
<li><strong>Instant Notifications</strong>: Get form submissions delivered to your WhatsApp in real-time</li>
<li><strong>Better Response Times</strong>: Reply to inquiries directly from your phone, wherever you are</li>
<li><strong>Works With Any Form</strong>: Compatible with all WordPress form plugins that use the mail system</li>
<li><strong>No Complex Setup</strong>: Works automatically with your existing forms</li>
<li><strong>Attachment Support</strong>: Receives files submitted through forms</li>
</ul>
<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>Features</h3>
<ul>
<li>Works with all WordPress form plugins (Contact Form 7, Gravity Forms, WPForms, Ninja Forms, Forminator etc.)</li>
<li>Simple configuration with your BeepMate API key</li>
<li>Multiple API connection methods for compatibility with all hosting environments</li>
<li>Preserves special characters and emoji</li>
<li>Debug mode for troubleshooting</li>
<li>Maintains your existing email workflow</li>
</ul>
<h3>External services</h3>
<p>This plugin connects to BeepMate API (beepmate.io) to send form submission data to WhatsApp.<br />
It sends form submissions including text content and any attachments to the BeepMate service whenever a form is submitted on your site.<br />
This service is provided by BeepMate: <a href="https://beepmate.io/privacy" rel="nofollow ugc">Privacy Policy</a>.</p>
<h3>Requirements</h3>
<ul>
<li>WordPress 5.0 or higher</li>
<li>PHP 7.0 or higher</li>
<li>A BeepMate account (get your FREE account and FREE API key at <a href="https://beepmate.io" rel="nofollow ugc">beepmate.io</a>)</li>
<li>A WhatsApp account</li>
</ul>
<h3>External services</h3>
<p>This plugin connects to BeepMate API (beepmate.io) to send form submission data to WhatsApp.<br />
It sends form submissions including text content and any attachments to the BeepMate service whenever a form is submitted on your site.<br />

<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>
