BravesChat vs Maintenance & Coming Soon Redirect Animation

BravesChat is the bridge between your WordPress site and your N8N workflows: connect any AI agent you have built with your visitors, without extra code and in minutes. Designed for the N8N community N8N-ready webhook: Point BravesChat to your workflow URL and start receiving messages instantly. Supports an authentication token in the header (X-N8N-Auth) to protect your endpoints. Complete payload on every message: Each request includes the current message and the user’s unique sessionId — everything your N8N nodes need to maintain conversation context. Markdown responses: Your agent’s messages are rendered with rich formatting — bold, lists, links, and code — with no extra configuration. Conversation history with CSV export: Browse all sessions from the WordPress dashboard and export them to your CRM, spreadsheet, or database with one click. Production-ready Three display modes: Floating widget, full screen, or mixed — global bubble with full screen on specific pages via a Gutenberg block. Dark mode admin panel: Toggle between light and dark theme. Preference is saved per user and restored without flash. Configurable business hours: Define when the chat is active and show a custom message outside those hours — ideal if your agent depends on a human in the loop. Built-in GDPR compliance: Consent banner that blocks the chat until the user accepts. Montserrat font loaded locally, no external requests. Full brand customization: Colors, texts, position, skin, and display mode — all adjustable without touching code. Reinforced security: The N8N authentication token travels only on the server — it is never exposed in the page HTML. WooCommerce compatible: Works in WooCommerce stores without conflicts, enabling conversational assistance throughout the purchase process. Session identification with Fingerprinting BravesChat generates a unique sessionId per visitor based on browser characteristics (SHA-256 hash), without storing personal data. This allows N8N to maintain conversation context even if the user reloads the page. External services N8N Webhook (user-configured) This plugin sends chat messages to an N8N webhook URL configured by the site administrator. What data is sent: The visitor’s chat message, conversation history, an anonymous session identifier (fingerprint), and the current page URL. When: On every message sent by a visitor through the chat widget, but only if the administrator has configured a webhook URL. Why: To forward the conversation to the administrator’s N8N workflow for AI processing. The webhook URL, destination server, and all data processing are fully controlled by the site administrator. No data is sent to any Braves-operated server.

This super lightweight plugin is intended primarily for developers, designers and site administrators that need to allow clients to preview the site before being available to the public or to temporarily hide it while undergoing major updates. Any logged-in user with WordPress administrator privileges will be allowed to view the site regardless of the settings in the plugin. The exact privilege can be set using a filter hook – see FAQs. The behaviour of this can be enabled or disabled at any time without losing any of the settings configured in its settings pane. However, deactivating the plugin is recommended versus having it activated while disabled. When redirect is enabled, it can send a different header types. A list of IP addresses can be set up to completely bypass maintenance mode. This option is useful when needing to allow a client’s entire office to access the site while in maintenance mode without needing to maintain individual access keys. Access keys work by creating a key on the user’s computer that will be checked against when maintenance mode is active. When a new key is created, a link to create the access key cookie will be emailed to the email address provided. Access can then be revoked either by disabling or deleting the key. Whitelisted User Roles – user roles who see the site, instead of under maintenance page Whitelisted Users – users who see the site, instead of maintenance page Animations : Animation on the web is not only fun, but engaging in such a way that it has converted site visitors into customers even before will be available to the general public and it will make them eagerly await its launch.
