Description
ScanChat AI adds an AI assistant to your WordPress website. It learns from your own pages and documents, answers your visitors’ questions at any time, and collects their contact details (name, email, phone, project…) so you can follow up.
This plugin connects your WordPress site to your ScanChat AI account and displays your chatbot on your pages. No code to copy.
Features
- One-click “Connect my account” — pick your chatbot, done.
- Answers from your own content (pages, documents) in the visitor’s language.
- Lead capture with the fields you choose, email alerts, CRM webhooks (depending on your plan).
- Works with multilingual websites (WPML, Polylang…): the chatbot follows the language of each page.
- Show the chatbot everywhere, or hide it on chosen pages (checkout, legal notice…).
- Option to hide the chatbot while you are logged in, to keep your statistics clean.
A ScanChat AI account is required. Plans start with a 7-day free trial: scan-chat.com.
External services
This plugin relies on the ScanChat AI service, operated by ScanChat AI (https://scan-chat.com), to display and run the chatbot.
- What is loaded: on the public pages where the chatbot is shown, the browser loads the chatbot script from
https://scan-chat.com/api/widget. Nothing is loaded in the WordPress admin except links. - What is sent, and when: when the script loads, it requests your chatbot’s settings using your chatbot ID. When a visitor writes to the chatbot, their messages, the page language and a random conversation ID are sent to
https://api.scan-chat.aito generate the answers. If the visitor chooses to give contact details in the conversation, they are stored in your ScanChat AI account as a lead. - Connection: when you click “Connect my account”, you are sent to
https://dashboard.scan-chat.aiwith your site address so you can choose the chatbot to install. Only the chosen chatbot ID and name are sent back to your site.
