The token and email address are stored in your WordPress database. The password is never stored.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Workspace sync (admin only):<\/strong> The plugin sends the stored API token to <code>https:\/\/calicodesk.com\/api\/v1\/me\/workspaces<\/code> to fetch the list of workspaces on your account.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Live chat widget (site visitors):<\/strong> When live chat is enabled for a workspace, every frontend page loads a script from <code>https:\/\/&lt;your-workspace&gt;.calicodesk.com\/livechat-loader.js<\/code>. Loading this script transmits standard request data (such as the visitor's IP address, browser user agent, and the page URL) to CalicoDesk, and any messages a visitor types into the chat widget are processed by the CalicoDesk platform, including its AI features.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n<p>No data is sent to CalicoDesk until an administrator connects an account, and no visitor data is sent until live chat is enabled for a workspace. Disconnecting the account or disabling the workspace stops all data transmission.<\/p>\n\n<p>This service is provided by CalicoDesk: <a href=\"https:\/\/calicodesk.com\/terms-and-conditions\">Terms and Conditions<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/calicodesk.com\/privacy-policy\">Privacy Policy<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n<!--section=installation-->\n<ol>\n<li>Upload the <code>calicodesk<\/code> folder to the <code>\/wp-content\/plugins\/<\/code> directory, or install the plugin through the WordPress Plugins screen.<\/li>\n<li>Activate the plugin through the <strong>Plugins<\/strong> screen in WordPress.<\/li>\n<li>Go to <strong>CalicoDesk \u2192 Sign \/ Signup<\/strong> in the admin menu and sign in with your CalicoDesk account.<\/li>\n<li>Go to <strong>CalicoDesk \u2192 Workspaces<\/strong> and toggle live chat on for the workspace you want to use.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n<!--section=faq-->\n<dl>\n<dt id=\"do%20i%20need%20a%20calicodesk%20account%3F\"><h3>Do I need a CalicoDesk account?<\/h3><\/dt>\n<dd><p>Yes.
