wabbiyo is a free WhatsApp inbox plugin. Everything in it works fully, for as\nlong as you use it, with no payment, no time limit and no cap on WhatsApp\nnumbers:<\/p>\n\n
Replies within 24 hours.<\/strong> WhatsApp allows replies for 24 hours after a\ncustomer's last message. After that, the customer has to write again before\nyou can reply. This plugin does not send message templates.<\/p>\n\n No account and no licence key.<\/strong> Nothing asks you to register: the plugin\nopens straight into the app.<\/p>\n\n wabbiyo Pro is a separate plugin that adds WhatsApp automation with the Flow\nBuilder, message templates, broadcasts, WooCommerce notifications and cart\nrecovery, an AI chatbot and more. The \"Upgrade to Pro\" page lists what it adds\nand links to wabbiyo.com.<\/p>\n\n Source code.<\/strong> The JavaScript and CSS source is included; see the FAQ \"Where\nis the source code of the JavaScript and CSS?\" for how to build it.<\/p>\n\n WhatsApp is a trademark of WhatsApp LLC. wabbiyo is not affiliated with or\nendorsed by WhatsApp or Meta.<\/p>\n\n These are the outside services this plugin contacts, what it sends, and when.\nThe chat widget talks to your own site, apart from Gravatar pictures (item 4)\nand WhatsApp links (item 5). Links to wabbiyo.com, such as those on the Upgrade\nto Pro page, open in your browser; the plugin itself sends nothing there.<\/p>\n\n 1. WhatsApp Cloud API (Meta)<\/strong> - 2. Facebook JavaScript SDK (Meta)<\/strong> - 3. Your SMTP relay (optional)<\/strong> - off until you switch it on under\nSettings > Email, and never used while another mail plugin sends your email.\nThen all email this site sends goes through the relay host you enter, with\nthe username and password you give it, under your email provider's terms.<\/p>\n\n 4. Gravatar (Automattic)<\/strong> - 5. WhatsApp click-to-chat<\/strong> - No. Every feature in this plugin is free, with no time limit and no trial\nperiod, and it takes no licence key. A licence is only for wabbiyo Pro, a\nseparate plugin, and is entered there.<\/p><\/dd>\n No. For help, use this plugin's support forum on wordpress.org; Settings >\nSupport links to it.<\/p><\/dd>\n WhatsApp allows replies for 24 hours after a customer's last message. If the\ncustomer last wrote earlier than that, the Inbox says so and sends nothing;\nyou can reply again once they write to you.<\/p><\/dd>\n On its own screens, all for wabbiyo Pro: the Upgrade to Pro menu item and\npage; and the Setup Guide's \"More in wabbiyo Pro\" row, which opens the\nUpgrade to Pro page. After your first 100 messages, one notice (also on the\nPlugins screen) lists what wabbiyo Pro adds and links to its prices on\nwabbiyo.com; dismissed, it does not come back.<\/p><\/dd>\n It is kept, unless you switch on Settings > Compliance > \"Delete all wabbiyo\ndata when the plugin is deleted\".
