While standard click-to-chat buttons send users away from your site instantly, this plugin acts as a lead-generation gatekeeper.<\/p>\n\n<h4>How it works<\/h4>\n\n<p>When a visitor clicks the floating WhatsApp button, a professional modal appears asking for their Name, Email, and Message. Once submitted, the data is saved locally to your WordPress database. The plugin then automatically pre-fills the visitor's message into WhatsApp and redirects them to the chat.<\/p>\n\n<h4>Features<\/h4>\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Lead Capture:<\/strong> Save contact details to a custom database table.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Smart Pre-fill:<\/strong> Automatically types the customer's message into WhatsApp.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Analytics:<\/strong> View total clicks and leads captured in your dashboard.<\/li>\n<li><strong>GDPR Ready:<\/strong> Includes a mandatory consent checkbox for privacy compliance.<\/li>\n<li><strong>CSV Export:<\/strong> Download your leads list for email marketing.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h3>External services<\/h3>\n\n<p>This plugin relies on the official WhatsApp API to facilitate communication between the website visitor and the site owner.<\/p>\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Service:<\/strong> WhatsApp Public API<\/li>\n<li><strong>Usage:<\/strong> Redirects the user to a WhatsApp chat window with a pre-filled message.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Data sent:<\/strong> The visitor's name and the message they typed in the lead form are passed as URL parameters to the WhatsApp API.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Service Link:<\/strong> https:\/\/api.whatsapp.com<\/li>\n<li><strong>Terms of Service:<\/strong> https:\/\/www.whatsapp.com\/legal\/<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<!--section=installation-->\n<ol>\n<li>Upload the <code>kayode-chat-lead-capture<\/code> folder to the <code>\/wp-content\/plugins\/<\/code> directory.<\/li>\n<li>Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress.<\/li>\n<li>Navigate to the 'Kayode Chat' menu in your sidebar to configure your settings.<\/li>\n<\/ol>","raw_excerpt":"Capture customer names, emails, and messages before they start a chat on WhatsApp. Includes a local database and analytics dashboard.","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/plugin\/334801","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/plugin"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/plugin"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=334801"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wporg\/v1\/users\/damilolakayode"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=334801"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"plugin_section","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/plugin_section?post=334801"},{"taxonomy":"plugin_tags","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/plugin_tags?post=334801"},{"taxonomy":"plugin_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/plugin_category?post=334801"},{"taxonomy":"plugin_contributors","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/plugin_contributors?post=334801"},{"taxonomy":"plugin_business_model","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/plugin_business_model?post=334801"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
