External services
This plugin connects to the CauserieBot service to provide chatbot functionality. The connection to this external service is required for the plugin to work.
1. CauserieBot API — fetching the chatbot list
When you click “Load my chatbots” in the settings page, the plugin sends an authenticated request to https://dashboard.causeriebot.com/api/public/chatbots with your API key in the Authorization header to retrieve the list of chatbots associated with your CauserieBot account.
- Data sent: your CauserieBot API key.
- When: only on demand, when you click “Load my chatbots” from the settings page. No data is sent automatically.
2. CauserieBot widget — front-end chatbot
When the chatbot is enabled, the plugin loads a JavaScript file from https://dashboard.causeriebot.com/widget.js on the public side of your site. This widget displays the chatbot interface and communicates with CauserieBot servers to process visitor messages.
- Data sent: the selected chatbot ID (server-side), then on the visitor side, the messages typed into the chatbot as well as standard browsing metadata (user agent, IP address, referrer) collected by CauserieBot to provide the service.
- When: on every public page of the site when the chatbot is enabled.
This service is provided by CauserieBot. By using this plugin you agree to the CauserieBot terms and privacy policy:
