## Description

**ZH Webhooks for n8n** sends WordPress events to your n8n webhook. It is not another
Zapier clone, cookie banner, or cache plugin.

WordPress.org already has million-install plugins for GTM, consent, backups, and
caching. It does **not** have a serious n8n webhook plugin. This one fills that 
gap:

 * **WordPress  n8n** — form submits (WPForms, Contact Form 7, Gravity Forms, Elementor,
   Fluent Forms, Ninja Forms), new users, published posts/pages, WooCommerce orders.
 * **Chat widget  n8n** — visitor messages wait for a `{"reply":"..."}` response
   from a Respond to Webhook node (the commercial “WordPress AI chatbot” use case).
   Brand colors, radius, offsets, theme, launcher, and avatar are configurable in
   wp-admin.
 * **n8n  WordPress ping** — signed inbound REST route for a connection check.
 * **HMAC + Header Auth** — `X-ZH-N8N-Key` for n8n Header Auth, plus `X-ZH-N8N-Signature`(`
   sha256=HMAC(timestamp + "." + raw body)`).
 * **Delivery logs** — last 200 sends, payload kept only until success so retries
   work.
 * **No n8n Cloud lock-in** — any self-hosted or Cloud webhook URL.

This plugin is **not affiliated with n8n GmbH**.

## Installation

 1. Upload the `zh-webhooks-for-n8n` folder to `/wp-content/plugins/`.
 2. Activate **ZH Webhooks for n8n**.
 3. Open **ZH Webhooks** in wp-admin.
 4. Paste your n8n **Production** webhook URL and copy the shared secret into n8n Header
    Auth (`X-ZH-N8N-Key`).
 5. Send a test ping, then enable the events you need.
 6. Optional: open the **Chat** tab to style the widget and enable it site-wide or 
    via `[zh_n8n_chat]`.

## FAQ

### Does this replace Uncanny Automator or Bit Integrations?

No. Those are generic “connect 400 apps” products. This plugin only talks to **n8n**
with a stable JSON envelope and HMAC.

### Can I put AdSense in this plugin?

No. WordPress.org plugins cannot be an ad network. Monetize by booking implementation
work or a later Pro license.

### What JSON does n8n receive?

{ “id”, “event”, “timestamp”, “site”: { “name”, “url”, “timezone” }, “data”: { …}}
plus headers `X-ZH-N8N-Event`, `X-ZH-N8N-Timestamp`, `X-ZH-N8N-Signature`, `X-ZH-
N8N-Key`.

### How does chat work?

The widget POSTs to WordPress REST. WordPress forwards `chat.message` to n8n and**
waits**. Your workflow must use **Respond to Webhook** with `{"reply":"text"}`. 
Other events are queued asynchronously so checkout stays fast.

### Why does live chat say it cannot reach n8n?

The webhook URL is empty, not HTTPS, or not reachable from the server. `http://127.0.0.1`
on your laptop is not reachable from Hostinger. Use n8n Cloud or another public 
HTTPS webhook.

### Is WooCommerce required?

No. Order events fire only when WooCommerce is active.
