LeadBot

LeadBot is a connector for the LeadBot SaaS chat widget and requires a LeadBot account. Once connected, the widget loads on every page of your site. You can connect the plugin from Settings -> LeadBot or start the WordPress install flow from your LeadBot dashboard.

External services

This plugin is a connector for the LeadBot SaaS chat widget and cannot function without the LeadBot service. By installing, activating, and configuring the plugin with a LeadBot account, you authorize it to communicate with the LeadBot service as described below.

What the plugin connects to and why

1. LeadBot install verification API — https://api.leadbot.com/v1/install-tokens/verify

   • When it runs: only when a logged-in administrator confirms an install link initiated from the LeadBot dashboard.
   • What is sent: the WordPress site URL and the one-time install token from the install link.
   • Why: to verify the install link is valid and obtain the domain key that links this site to the matching LeadBot account.

2. LeadBot widget script — https://script.leadbot.com/script.js?domainKey=<your-domain-key>

   • When it runs: on every public-facing page, only after a domain key has been saved in the plugin settings.
   • What is sent: the standard request data any browser sends when loading a script (IP address, user agent, referrer) plus your public domain key as a query parameter.
   • Why: this script is the LeadBot chat widget itself. It is not a generic third-party CDN library — it is the runtime delivery of the LeadBot SaaS product, served by LeadBot’s own infrastructure. It cannot be bundled locally because the widget is configured and updated server-side per LeadBot account.

3. LeadBot widget runtime — once loaded, the widget may communicate with LeadBot servers to render conversations and submit visitor input according to the flows configured in the connected LeadBot account. This communication is handled by the widget (the SaaS), not by the plugin’s PHP code.

No data is sent to LeadBot from the plugin itself until an administrator either (a) confirms a LeadBot-initiated install link in wp-admin, or (b) saves a domain key in the plugin’s settings. Removing the domain key (or uninstalling the plugin) stops the widget from loading.
