Beskrivning
This is an AI chat widget that answers visitor questions automatically, using the information you give it about your business, and captures leads while you’re not around.
This plugin places the widget on every front-end page of your site. Paste in your Business ID and save — that’s the whole setup.
- No theme editing, no code snippets to paste
- Automatically matches the chat bubble to your brand color
- Optional: pick your own color instead
- Optional: customize the first message visitors see
- Optional: show the widget in the bottom-left corner instead of bottom-right
Requires an account
This plugin only places the widget — the chat itself, the AI, and your dashboard all live at chatcobalt.com. You’ll need an account for the widget to do anything. Sign up at chatcobalt.com; pricing and terms are listed there. Full Terms of Service: https://www.chatcobalt.com/terms.
Privacy
When you save a Business ID in the settings screen, this plugin makes one request from your site to https://www.chatcobalt.com/api/widget-config to confirm the ID and read back your business name and brand color. It sends only the Business ID you entered, and only when you click Save changes.
Once configured, this plugin loads a script from chatcobalt.com on every page of your site so the chat widget can appear. That script:
- Sends visitor chat messages to the server so the AI can generate a reply.
- If a visitor voluntarily shares contact details (name, email, phone) during the conversation, that information is stored in your account so you can follow up.
- Does not run or track anything before a visitor actually opens and uses the chat widget.
No visitor data is stored by this plugin itself, or in your WordPress database — everything the widget collects is sent directly to your own account. See the Privacy Policy for full details, and consider mentioning this data flow in your own site’s privacy policy.
Installation
- Upload and activate the plugin (Plugins Add New search ”Chat Cobalt”, or Upload Plugin with the zip).
- Go to Settings Chat Cobalt.
- Paste in your Business ID (find it in your dashboard, under ”Embed code”).
- Click Save changes.
The chat widget will now appear on every page of your site, styled with the brand color detected on your website when you signed up.
Vanliga frågor
-
Where do I find my Business ID?
-
Log in to your dashboard and look for the ”Embed code” section — your Business ID is the value after
data-business-id=. -
How does it know my brand color?
-
When you signed up, we looked at your website and picked out the color you use for branding. The first time you save your Business ID, this plugin asks the server for that color and fills it into the ”Accent color” field for you. You can change it to any color you like, or clear the field to go back to the default blue.
-
Does this slow down my site?
-
The widget script loads asynchronously and only adds one small script tag to your footer — it doesn’t block your page from rendering.
-
Can I remove the widget from just one page?
-
Not in this version — it shows on every front-end page. If you need per-page control, let us know at https://www.chatcobalt.com/contact.
-
What happens if I deactivate or delete the plugin?
-
Deactivating removes the widget immediately. Deleting the plugin also removes its one saved setting (your Business ID and preferences) from your database — nothing is left behind.
