Wello ServiceDesk API

Description

Wello ServiceDesk API integrates WordPress with the external Wello ServiceDesk platform as a client interface.

Key features:

  • OTP-based authentication via external Wello ServiceDesk service
  • Secure access token generation and management
  • React-powered ServiceDesk dashboard embedded in WordPress
  • Admin configuration panel for branding and integration settings
  • Ticket and work order listing with detailed views
  • Fully translation-ready with multiple language support

Requires a valid Wello ServiceDesk account and API credentials.

Important: WordPress Authentication Separation

This plugin maintains complete separation between WordPress authentication and external service authentication:

  • No WordPress users are created from external service accounts
  • No WordPress login/session is established using external credentials or tokens
  • No WordPress roles or capabilities are granted based on external authentication
  • External authentication is handled entirely by the Wello ServiceDesk platform
  • WordPress user management remains fully independent

This plugin acts strictly as a client interface to the external service.
