BookIvy connects your WordPress site to your BookIvy instance. You enter your licence key\nonce and confirm the connection in your BookIvy backend. From then on the plugin picks up\neverything else automatically: the booking URL and the chatbot address of your instance.<\/p>\n\n

Features<\/h4>\n\n
    \n
  • Appointment calendar<\/strong> \u2013 The booking flow is embedded directly into your page with a\ntransparent background and no visible frame. Its height adjusts automatically to each\nstep, so there is no inner scrollbar and no empty space below the form.<\/li>\n
  • Chatbot<\/strong> \u2013 An AI booking assistant, either as a floating button on every page or\nplaced inline on selected pages.<\/li>\n
  • No manual configuration<\/strong> \u2013 Addresses come straight from your instance and are\nrefreshed every time you reconnect. There is nothing to copy and paste.<\/li>\n
  • Brand colours<\/strong> \u2013 Optionally use the colours defined in your instance instead of the\nplugin defaults. Text colour on coloured surfaces is calculated automatically for\nreadable contrast.<\/li>\n
  • No advertising on your site<\/strong> \u2013 The credit line naming the provider and the author is\nswitched off by default and only appears if you explicitly turn it on.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n

    Shortcodes<\/h4>\n\n

    Appointment calendar:<\/p>\n\n

    [bookivy-calendar]\n[bookivy-calendar height=\"900px\"]\n[bookivy-calendar service=\"3\"] \u2013 a specific service\n[bookivy-calendar service=\"3\" person=\"7\"] \u2013 a service with a specific person\n[bookivy-calendar planroom=\"2\"] \u2013 a specific room\n[bookivy-calendar table=\"5\"] \u2013 a specific table\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\n
    Chatbot:<\/p>\n\n
    [bookivy-chat-widget]\n[bookivy-chat-widget height=\"500px\"]\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\n
    External services and data processing<\/h4>\n\n
    This plugin communicates with the BookIvy platform. It cannot work without that\nconnection, because all content it displays is provided by your instance.<\/p>\n\n
      \n
    1. Licence connection<\/strong> \u2013 When you click \"Connect\", you are redirected to\n   https:\/\/app.bookivy.ai\/admin\/endpoint\/wp-connect.php. Your licence key and the return\naddress of your site are transmitted. The platform sends back the master data of your\ninstance, cryptographically signed. This step happens exclusively in the WordPress\nadmin area and is always triggered by a logged-in administrator.<\/li>\n
    2. Appointment calendar<\/strong> \u2013 The booking page of your instance is embedded as an iframe.\nVisitor data is exchanged directly between the browser and your instance.<\/li>\n
    3. Chatbot<\/strong> \u2013 Chat messages are forwarded server-side through WordPress to the chatbot\naddress stored in your instance, so that address never appears in the page source.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n
      Provider: Re-Thought Consulting, https:\/\/www.re-thought.de\/\nProduct information: https:\/\/bookivy.ai\/\nPrivacy policy: https:\/\/bookivy.ai\/ivy\/recht\/datenschutz\/\nLegal notice: https:\/\/bookivy.ai\/ivy\/recht\/impressum\/<\/p>\n\n\n
        \n
      1. Upload and activate the plugin.<\/li>\n
      2. Open the BookIvy<\/strong> menu and enter your licence key. You will find it in your backend\nat https:\/\/app.bookivy.ai\/login.php under Settings \u2192 Licence<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
      3. Click Connect<\/strong> and confirm the connection once in your backend.<\/li>\n
      4. The Appointment calendar<\/strong> and Chatbot<\/strong> tabs then show the addresses of your\ninstance together with the matching shortcodes.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n

        \n
        A shortcode does not display anything. Why?<\/h3><\/dt>\n
        The plugin embeds whatever your instance provides. If no booking or chatbot address is\navailable for your account, there is nothing to embed and the shortcode stays empty.\nLogged-in administrators see an explanatory note in that spot; visitors see nothing. Click\nRefresh data<\/strong> on the Settings<\/strong> tab to fetch the addresses again.<\/p><\/dd>\n
        What happens when my licence expires?<\/h3><\/dt>\n
        The plugin contains no lock and no countdown of its own. It simply displays what the\nplatform provided at the last sync. Whether and for how long your account continues to be\nserved is decided by the platform, not by this plugin. The licence status last reported is\nshown in the admin area.<\/p><\/dd>\n
        Will my site advertise BookIvy?<\/h3><\/dt>\n
        Not without your consent. The credit line \"BookIvy made by Re-Thought Consulting\" in the\nchat header is switched off by default. It only appears once you enable it on the\nChatbot<\/strong> tab, and you can switch it off again at any time.<\/p><\/dd>\n
        Can I use the floating widget and the shortcode at the same time?<\/h3><\/dt>\n
        Yes. The floating button and an inline chat can run on the same page without conflicting.\nOne inline chat per page is supported.<\/p><\/dd>\n
        The booking form is wrapped in a coloured box. What can I do?<\/h3><\/dt>\n
        The booking flow brings its own background and is embedded transparently on purpose. If\nyou place the shortcode inside a container that has its own background, border or padding,\nthat container shows through. Remove those styles from the surrounding element.<\/p><\/dd>\n
        The chat shows technical output instead of an answer.<\/h3><\/dt>\n
        On the Chatbot<\/strong> tab, the option \"Remove internal output from answers\" is enabled by\ndefault and strips tool calls and raw data that were passed through. Check that this\noption is still enabled.<\/p><\/dd>\n\n<\/dl>\n\n\n
        2.0.1<\/h4>\n\n
          \n
        • Fixed: The privacy policy URL in the readme pointed to a page that no longer exists. It\nnow points to the current address, and the legal notice has been added alongside it.<\/li>\n
        • Fixed: Height values are now validated as real CSS lengths (a number plus px, em, rem,\nvh, vw or %) instead of only having disallowed characters stripped. This applies to the\nsetting as well as to the height attribute of both shortcodes.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
          2.0.0<\/h4>\n\n
            \n
          • Removed: The 14-day grace period and the frontend lock attached to it. The plugin no\nlonger contains any time limit or access restriction.<\/li>\n
          • Removed: The check against a feature entitlement list. What is displayed now depends\nsolely on whether the platform provides the corresponding addresses.<\/li>\n
          • Changed: The credit line naming the provider and the author is switched off by default\nand has to be enabled explicitly before it appears on the site.<\/li>\n
          • Changed: All tabs are reachable at any time; their content follows the available data.<\/li>\n
          • Changed: Custom icons replace the third-party icons used before, so that only the\nplugin's own licence applies.<\/li>\n
          • Added: LICENSE.txt with licence and provenance information.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
            1.7.0<\/h4>\n\n
              \n
            • Added: The colour scheme can be switched between the plugin colours and the brand\ncolours of the instance. The brand colours are shown on the Chatbot tab together with\ntheir purpose and the full palette; text colour on coloured surfaces is set\nautomatically for readable contrast.<\/li>\n
            • Added: Direct entry points for the appointment calendar through the planroom<\/code> and\n  table attributes for rooms and tables. The matching view is selected automatically.<\/li>\n
            • Improved: \"Refresh data\" and \"Disconnect\" now sit next to each other instead of\noverlapping.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
              1.6.0<\/h4>\n\n
                \n
              • Merged the previous separate plugins for the appointment calendar and the chat into a\nsingle plugin.<\/li>\n
              • Added: Connection to the instance through the licence key; addresses and functions are\npicked up automatically.<\/li>\n
              • Added: Interface with three tabs.<\/li>\n
              • Added: Filter against tool calls and raw data passed through into chat answers, which\ncan be switched off.<\/li>\n
              • Added: Automatic import of the settings from the predecessor plugins.<\/li>\n
              • Changed: The shortcodes are now [bookivy-calendar]<\/code> and [bookivy-chat-widget]<\/code>.<\/li>\n
              • Fixed: The response of the chat endpoint no longer contains raw data from the upstream\nservice.<\/li>\n<\/ul>","raw_excerpt":"Embed the BookIvy appointment calendar and the BookIvy chatbot anywhere on your site using shortcodes.","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/plugin\/348077","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=348077"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wporg\/v1\/users\/thomasgericke"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=348077"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"plugin_section","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/plugin_section?post=348077"},{"taxonomy":"plugin_tags","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/plugin_tags?post=348077"},{"taxonomy":"plugin_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/plugin_category?post=348077"},{"taxonomy":"plugin_contributors","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/plugin_contributors?post=348077"},{"taxonomy":"plugin_business_model","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/plugin_business_model?post=348077"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
