## Description

TimeSaverBot integrates your WordPress site with the [TimeSaverBot](https://app.timesaverbot.com/)
SaaS platform. A guided setup wizard provisions your workspace automatically — no
separate account registration required.

**Features:**

 * AI-powered chatbot with customizable prompt instructions
 * Live-chat widget with appearance and behavior settings
 * Lead collection and management dashboard
 * Knowledge base integration for enriching bot context
 * Admin dashboard with usage metrics (dialogs, leads, conversion rate)
 * One-click navigation to Chat, Leads, and Knowledge Base with automatic authentication

**How it works:**

 1. Activate the plugin and complete the setup wizard.
 2. Configure your bot prompt and widget appearance from within WordPress admin.
 3. The chat widget appears on your site automatically — no manual code changes required.
 4. Manage conversations and leads from the WordPress admin menu.

#### Third-Party Service Disclosure

This plugin relies on the **TimeSaverBot SaaS platform** hosted at `app.timesaverbot.
com`. The following external connections are made:

 1. **Provisioning API** (`POST /Provision/WordPressInstall`) — Called once during 
    the setup wizard to create your workspace. Sends: site URL, installation ID, WordPress
    version, plugin version, admin email.
 2. **Dashboard Summary API** (`GET /Provision/WordPressDashboardSummary`) — Called
    when loading the Dashboard page. Returns aggregated usage metrics.
 3. **Operation Token API** (`POST /Auth/CreateOperationToken`) — Called when you navigate
    to Chat, Leads, or Knowledge Base. Issues a short-lived authentication token.
 4. **Iframe embeds** — Bot Settings and Widget Settings pages load the TimeSaverBot
    configuration UI inside an iframe from `app.timesaverbot.com`.
 5. **Silent login redirects** — Chat, Leads, and Knowledge Base menu items redirect
    to `app.timesaverbot.com` with automatic authentication.
 6. **Chat widget script** (`embed.js`) — Loaded on every frontend page after wizard
    completion. The script is served from `widget.timesaverbot.com` and renders the
    chat widget inside an iframe. It sends your tenant ID and channel ID as data attributes.

All server-to-server API calls are signed with HMAC-SHA256 using a per-installation
secret. No data is sent to any other third-party service.

### Privacy

TimeSaverBot connects to the TimeSaverBot SaaS platform at `app.timesaverbot.com`.
This section documents all data transmitted.

#### Data sent during provisioning (one-time, on wizard completion)

 * Normalized site hostname (e.g. `example.com`)
 * Installation UUID (locally generated, not tied to any personal data)
 * Raw site URL, WordPress version, plugin version (diagnostic metadata)
 * Admin email address (used to create a technical user for your workspace)

#### Data sent during normal operation

 * **Dashboard**: HMAC-signed GET request with installation ID header. Returns aggregate
   metrics only.
 * **Navigation (Chat/Leads/Knowledge Base)**: HMAC-signed POST request with installation
   ID and requested scope. Returns a one-time authentication token.
 * **Settings (Bot/Widget)**: After initial authentication, the iframe communicates
   directly between the browser and TimeSaverBot. The WordPress plugin does not 
   relay this traffic.

#### Data stored locally

Installation ID, HMAC secret, tenant ID, connector channel ID, process ID, wizard
state. All stored in the `wp_options` table under the `tsvbot_wp_settings` key.

#### Data stored remotely

Chatbot configuration, conversations, leads, and usage metrics are stored on the
TimeSaverBot platform. See the [TimeSaverBot Privacy Policy](https://app.timesaverbot.com/privacy)
for retention and deletion policies.

#### No additional third parties

This plugin does not transmit data to any service other than `app.timesaverbot.com`.

## Installation

 1. Upload the `timesaverbot` folder to `/wp-content/plugins/`.
 2. Activate the plugin through the **Plugins** menu in WordPress.
 3. Follow the setup wizard that appears automatically:
 4.  * **Stage 0** — Read the introduction and click “Start setup” to provision your
       workspace.
     * **Stage 1** — Configure your bot prompt. Once saved, the setup completes automatically.
 5. You are now on the Dashboard. Use the admin menu to manage your chatbot.

## FAQ

### Do I need a TimeSaverBot account?

No. The setup wizard automatically provisions a workspace for your site. No separate
registration or login is required.

### What data is sent to TimeSaverBot during setup?

When you click “Start setup” in the wizard, the plugin sends:

 * Your site URL (normalized to a canonical hostname)
 * A unique installation identifier (UUID, generated locally)
 * Your WordPress version and plugin version
 * The admin email address (used to create a technical user in your workspace)

This is the only time these details are transmitted. Subsequent API calls use HMAC-
signed requests that include only the installation ID in a request header.

### What data is sent during normal usage?

 * **Dashboard page load**: A signed GET request fetches usage metrics (dialog counts,
   lead counts, plan info). No site content is transmitted.
 * **Chat / Leads / Knowledge Base navigation**: A signed POST request obtains a
   short-lived, one-time authentication token. The token is exchanged in the browser
   for a session — no WordPress credentials are shared.
 * **Bot Settings / Widget Settings**: These pages load inside an iframe. Configuration
   data is exchanged directly between your browser and TimeSaverBot — the WordPress
   plugin is not involved after authentication.

### Where is my data stored?

Plugin settings (installation ID, secret, tenant IDs) are stored locally in WordPress
options (`wp_options` table). Your chatbot configuration, conversations, and leads
are stored on the TimeSaverBot platform. No data is stored on any other third-party
service.

### What happens when I deactivate the plugin?

All settings and your installation identity are preserved. Reactivating the plugin
restores your connection to TimeSaverBot without re-running the wizard. Your workspace
and data on TimeSaverBot remain intact.

### What happens when I uninstall (delete) the plugin?

Plugin settings are removed from the WordPress database. Your workspace on TimeSaverBot
is **not** deleted — contact TimeSaverBot support if you want your data removed 
from the platform.

### Can I use this plugin on a multisite installation?

The plugin is designed for single-site WordPress installations. Multisite support
is not currently available.

### How does the chat widget appear on my site?

After completing the setup wizard, the plugin automatically injects the TimeSaverBot
chat widget script into every frontend page via `wp_footer`. No manual code changes
are needed. The widget does not appear on wp-admin pages. If you deactivate the 
plugin or reset the wizard, the widget is removed automatically.

### Can I override the widget script URL?

Yes. Add `define('TSVBOT_WIDGET_URL', 'https://your-custom-url.com');` to your `
wp-config.php` before the plugin loads. The default is `https://widget.timesaverbot.
com`.

### The iframe pages are blank or blocked

See the Troubleshooting section on the Help page inside the plugin (TimeSaverBot
Help), or refer to the plugin’s SECURITY.md file for CSP/frame-ancestors configuration
requirements.
