External services
This plugin relies on the SiteSideKick service (https://www.sitesidekick.io) to provide AI-powered chatbot functionality. The plugin cannot function without this external service.
Chatbot widget script
On every page load of your WordPress site, the plugin loads a JavaScript chatbot widget from SiteSideKick's CDN: https://chatbot-page.pages.dev/chatbot.js
This script renders the chat interface on your site. No user data is sent when loading the script itself.
Chat API requests
When a visitor interacts with the chatbot, the widget sends the following data to the SiteSideKick API:
- The visitor's chat messages
- Your Chatbot ID (configured in the plugin settings)
- The domain of your WordPress site (for authentication)
This data is sent each time a visitor sends a message in the chatbot. The API processes the message using Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) to return a response based on the documents you have uploaded to your SiteSideKick account.
