## Description

**4WP Booking** lets visitors pick a service, a date, a time, and submit their details.
Requests go through WordPress. Provider API keys and bot tokens stay on the server.

A plugin by [4wp.dev](https://4wp.dev/). **4WP** is our project brand; the letters“
WP” appear only as part of that brand name, not as a reference to WordPress. This
plugin is **not** affiliated with, endorsed, or sponsored by **WordPress** or by**
ClinicCards** / Cliniccards Corp.

#### How it works

 1. Activate **4WP Booking**.
 2. Open **4WP Booking** in wp-admin: choose a provider, set notifications, save.
 3. Place the **4WP Booking** block, the `[forwp_booking]` shortcode, or the Elementor
    widget.
 4. Visitors book through the calendar template.

#### Key features

 * Pluggable providers (ClinicCards live; Google Calendar and Calendly planned)
 * Calendar booking template (service  date  time  guest details)
 * Gutenberg block, shortcode, optional Elementor widget
 * Notifications tab: email and Telegram for bookings; optional form  Telegram (
   Contact Form 7, WPForms, Gravity Forms)
 * Server-side API calls; credentials never sent to the browser

#### Privacy

Guest name, phone, email, and optional comment are sent to the selected provider
only when the visitor submits the booking form. When Telegram or email notifications
are enabled, the same booking (or form) fields are sent to those channels. API keys
and bot tokens are stored as WordPress options and are not exposed in front-end 
HTML or JavaScript.

### External services

#### ClinicCards

When the **ClinicCards** provider is selected and a visitor uses a booking form,
WordPress sends **server-side** HTTPS requests to `https://cliniccards.com/api` (
staff, cabinets, schedule, patients, and visits). Requests include the clinic API
token from plugin settings and the booking payload (name, phone, email, date, time).

This service is provided by **Cliniccards Corp**:

 * Terms of use: https://cliniccards.com/
 * Privacy policy: https://cliniccards.com/
 * API documentation: https://cliniccards.com/api

#### Telegram Bot API

When Telegram notifications are enabled (bookings and/or form submissions), WordPress
sends **server-side** HTTPS requests to `https://api.telegram.org/` to deliver messages
to the chat IDs you configure. Requests include your bot token and the message text(
booking or form fields).

Telegram is operated by Telegram FZ-LLC / Telegram Messenger Inc. See https://telegram.
org/privacy and https://core.telegram.org/bots/api.

## FAQ

### Does this require Elementor?

No. Elementor is optional. The shortcode and Gutenberg block work without it.

### Is this an official WordPress or ClinicCards product?

No. 4WP Booking is an independent plugin from 4wp.dev. It is not affiliated with
WordPress or with ClinicCards. ClinicCards is an optional third-party CRM connected
only via their public API when you choose that provider.

### Can form plugins send to Telegram?

Yes. On the Notifications tab you can forward Contact Form 7, WPForms, and Gravity
Forms submissions to Telegram using the same bot token (optional separate chat IDs,
with fallback to booking chats).
