Go to https://joinyipyap.com, create a free account, and verify your email. 2. Once logged in, navigate to Integrations and create a new integration for your site. – Important: Set the Site URL for the integration to exactly match your WordPress site URL (e.g., https://example.com). This is required for the plugin validation to work. 3. Go to AI Agents and create a new agent, which will handle the chat interactions. 4. Open the Integration Details page, assign the newly created agent to your integration, and copy the generated API Key. 5. Enter the API Key into the plugin settings in WordPress to activate the chatbot. Once activated, the plugin connects your website to your YipYap account and automatically loads your chatbot widget on all pages. Features: * Simple API key setup in WordPress admin * Automatic chat widget embedding * Secure integration with your YipYap AI Agent * Works with any WordPress theme External Services This plugin uses the following third-party/external services to provide the chat widget and to validate/activate the integration. We document each service below, what it is used for, and what data is sent. joinyipyap.com (YipYap platform / widget) Purpose: Hosts the chat widget script and the YipYap platform that manages AI agents & integrations. Domains: https://joinyipyap.com/sdk.js — loads the chat widget script in the browser. https://api.joinyipyap.com/validate-wp-integration — validates API key and site URL when a user saves the API key in plugin settings. https://api.joinyipyap.com/wp-activate-integration — called after successful validation to activate the integration. https://api.joinyipyap.com/wp-deactivate-integration — called when the API key is removed or integration is deactivated. https://api.joinyipyap.com/wp-sync — used to periodically sync your site URL with the YipYap integration. Data sent: the plugin sends your API key (entered by the site admin) and your site URL (home_url()) for validation, activation, deactivation and sync. The widget script (sdk.js) runs in the visitor’s browser (no visitor personal data is sent by the plugin itself). When: validation/activation/deactivation calls happen when the admin saves/removes an API key; sync runs during init if an API key is present.
