Kovetto Konnect

Description

Kovetto Konnect is the WordPress companion to Kovetto. It bridges the gap between “I want feedback on a screenshot” and “I want feedback on the actual production site, including logged-in pages and dynamic content.”

How it works:

1. In Kovetto, open a project and copy the Site Token from the Konnect tab.
2. Install this plugin, go to Settings → Kovetto Konnect, and paste the token.
3. In Kovetto, create a Live-Website session and invite reviewers by name.
4. Each reviewer receives a magic link of the form https://your-site.com/?kovetto=<token>.
5. When they open it, a lightweight overlay appears, lets them click a spot on the page, type or record audio, and submit. Feedback lands in Kovetto with a real screenshot of what the reviewer saw.
6. Reviewers can reopen their own feedback history right in the widget — every point they have already submitted, with its on-page pin, so they never repeat themselves or lose track of what they reported.

The widget language follows the WordPress site language. German and English are included; German is the default.

Using this plugin requires a free Kovetto account (no credit card required).

Designed to be safe and lightweight

• No widget JS or CSS is loaded on normal page views — only when the magic-link parameter is present.
• The widget is wrapped in a Shadow DOM so it cannot conflict with theme or page-builder CSS.
• Compatible with Elementor, Divi, Beaver Builder, Bricks, Oxygen, WPBakery, Brizy, Thrive, and Gutenberg. The widget never loads inside their edit modes.
• No custom database tables. A single non-autoloaded option holds the Site Token.
• No jQuery dependency, no third-party trackers, no analytics.
• The Site Token never reaches the browser — every call to Kovetto is server-to-server.
• All scripts are loaded from the plugin folder — nothing is loaded from a CDN.

Third-party libraries

This plugin bundles html2canvas version 1.4.1 (MIT license, GPL-compatible) to capture the optional page screenshots. The full unminified source code is available at github.com/niklasvh/html2canvas. The library is served from the plugin folder only and is loaded lazily, only when a reviewer submits feedback.

External Services

This plugin is a companion to the Kovetto feedback service (kovetto.com) and cannot function without it. It connects to the Kovetto API under https://kovetto.com in the following situations:

• Pairing — when a site administrator saves the Site Token in Settings → Kovetto Konnect, the plugin sends the token, the site URL, and the WordPress version to https://kovetto.com/api/wp/pair to confirm the connection. This is the explicit opt-in for using the service.
• Reviewer session validation — when an invited reviewer opens a magic link (?kovetto=<token>) on the site, the plugin validates the reviewer token against https://kovetto.com/api/wp/session and fetches that reviewer’s previously submitted feedback from https://kovetto.com/api/wp/feedback-list.
• Feedback submission — when a reviewer submits feedback, the marker position, the feedback text, the optional audio recording, the optional page screenshots, and the URL of the reviewed page are forwarded to https://kovetto.com/api/wp/feedback.
• Session chat — the optional chat panel inside the reviewer widget embeds a page served from kovetto.com. It is only shown to invited reviewers, never to normal visitors.

No data is sent to Kovetto before a Site Token has been saved, and nothing is loaded or transmitted on normal page views. All API calls are made server-to-server from WordPress; the Site Token never reaches the browser.
