AI chat that answers visitors from your own pages, Click to Chat for WhatsApp & Telegram, social icons & share buttons — one floating button.

== Description ==

= The contact launcher for WordPress =

**One floating button, every channel.** WPZOOM Connect gives your site a chat button that can answer visitors itself — an **AI chat** that replies from your own pages in seconds and hands off to a human when needed — alongside **Click to Chat** for WhatsApp, Telegram, Messenger and Viber, **social icons** linking to your profiles, and **share buttons** for your content. 400+ icons, Gutenberg blocks, a widget and Elementor support, all in one plugin.

= NEW: AI Chat — your chat button answers questions itself =

Turn the floating Click to Chat button into a support agent. AI Chat reads your pages and docs and answers visitors' questions instantly — pricing, how-to, shipping, compatibility — 24/7, in your visitors' language, and hands the conversation to you (or to WhatsApp) when a human is needed.

* **See it before you switch it on.** The built-in *Support Readiness Scan* reads a few of your pages right from wp-admin and shows the questions your visitors are likely to ask, answered from your content — and the ones your site doesn't answer yet. Nothing is installed or sent until you click.
* **One-click connect.** No API keys, no code: click *Turn on AI Chat*, create a free account (or sign in) and the chat is live on your site. Indexing starts automatically.
* **Human handoff.** Visitors can ask for a person; you reply from the Yamidoo dashboard, by email, or point them to WhatsApp.
* **Knows your customers.** Running Easy Digital Downloads or WooCommerce? Your team sees a customer's orders, licenses and subscriptions next to their conversation. Optionally, the AI can answer logged-in customers' account questions ("when does my license expire?") — a separate switch in the dashboard, off by default. Only your own workspace can request it, one customer at a time, when needed — nothing is uploaded or stored.
* **Knows your logged-in users.** Optionally passes the logged-in user's name and email so your team knows who is chatting.
* **Free plan included** — no card needed to start.

AI Chat is powered by **[Yamidoo](https://yamidoo.ai/)**, a WPZOOM product. Everything you already use — social icons, share buttons, Click to Chat — keeps working exactly as before; AI Chat is optional and off until you connect.

**[Sharing Buttons Demo](https://demo.wpzoom.com/social-icons/2016/04/21/sharing-buttons/)**

**Social Icons & Sharing Buttons** helps you to add social media icons and sharing buttons to your website. The plugin includes several icon sets, which gives you the possibility to use the widget for more than just linking to your social media profiles. You can use generic icons to add links to anything you want, and enable sharing buttons to let visitors share your content across social networks.

It also includes a **Click to Chat** floating contact button so visitors can message you instantly on **WhatsApp**, **Telegram**, **Facebook Messenger**, and **Viber** with a single tap — perfect for turning visitors into customers. Add a WhatsApp chat button, a click-to-chat launcher, or a floating contact widget without writing any code.

> With the help of WPZOOM's excellent Social Icons Widget plugin, you can link to all your social network profiles and add sharing buttons in no time, letting your visitors easily get in touch with you on all social media channels and share your content.

= External services (AI Chat) =

The optional **AI Chat** feature connects your site to **Yamidoo** (https://yamidoo.ai/), a hosted service operated by WPZOOM BV. Nothing is sent to Yamidoo until you click *Scan my site* or *Turn on AI Chat* in the plugin settings.

* *Scan my site* sends your site's public URL to `https://app.yamidoo.ai/api/scan`, which reads up to 14 of your public pages and returns a report shown in wp-admin.
* *Turn on AI Chat* opens `https://app.yamidoo.ai` to create or sign in to your Yamidoo account and connect this site; your site URL is shared so Yamidoo can index your public pages, and your WordPress email and name are passed along to prefill the sign-up form.
* Once connected, the front end loads the chat widget (`widget.js`) from `https://app.yamidoo.ai`. When a visitor uses the chat, their messages, an anonymous session id, the page URL and basic browser data are sent to Yamidoo. If "identify logged-in users" is on, the logged-in user's name, email, username and user id are sent too.
* If customer lookup is on (offered only when Easy Digital Downloads or WooCommerce is active): when your team opens a conversation, or the AI answers a logged-in customer, your Yamidoo workspace requests that one email's record from this site (`/wp-json/yamidoo/v1/customer`) — customer, orders, licenses and subscriptions. Each request is signed with a per-site secret; the record is shown to your team and used for that answer, then discarded.

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= Where do I find more details about this plugin? =

On our [website](http://www.wpzoom.com/plugins/social-share/).

= How can I add Social Icons to a Page? =

Add the **Social Icons Block** to the Gutenberg editor and customize the icons as you want. You can search for icons, drag & drop to reorder them, and customize colors, sizes, and styles.

= How can I add Social Sharing Buttons to my posts? =

Add the **Social Sharing Buttons Block** to your post or page. You can enable/disable specific sharing platforms in the block settings sidebar. The block includes support for Facebook, X (Twitter), LinkedIn, WhatsApp, Email, Print, and many more platforms.

= Can I customize the appearance of the Sharing Buttons? =

Yes! The Social Sharing Buttons Block offers multiple style presets (Circle, Square, Rounded, Outlined, Minimal, One-tone) and extensive customization options including:
* Icon and label colors
* Button sizes and padding
* Border radius and styling
* Show/hide labels
* Margin and spacing

= What sharing platforms are supported? =

The plugin supports 12+ sharing platforms: Facebook, X (Twitter), Threads, LinkedIn, Pinterest, Reddit, Telegram, WhatsApp, Bluesky, Email, Copy Link, and Print.

= What is AI Chat and does it cost anything? =

AI Chat turns the floating chat button into an assistant that answers visitors from your own pages, and hands off to you when needed. It's powered by Yamidoo (a WPZOOM product) and needs a Yamidoo account; the free plan needs no card. It's off until you connect — nothing changes on your site otherwise.

= Can the AI see my customers' orders and licenses? =

If you run Easy Digital Downloads or WooCommerce, yes — turn on *Show customer data in my Yamidoo inbox* in the AI Chat tab. Only your own workspace can request it, not Yamidoo the company or anyone else. Your team sees the customer's record next to the conversation. The AI does not see it unless you turn on *Let the AI answer account questions* in the dashboard, and then only for visitors who are logged in to your site (the plugin signs their identity, so nobody can ask about someone else's orders). Your workspace fetches the record from your site when needed and does not store it. Developers can add data from other plugins with the `wpzoom_ai_chat_customer_sections` filter.

= Does AI Chat replace my WhatsApp button? =

By default, yes: while AI Chat is on, the WhatsApp/Telegram/Messenger/Viber launcher is hidden so there's one floating button, not two. You can keep both from the AI Chat settings.

= How do I add a Click to Chat button for WhatsApp? =

Go to **Social Icons → Click to Chat** in your WordPress admin, enable the feature, and add your WhatsApp number. A floating Click to Chat button appears on your site so visitors can message you on WhatsApp with one tap. You can enable Telegram, Facebook Messenger, and Viber from the same screen.

= Which chat apps does the Click to Chat button support? =

The floating Click to Chat button supports WhatsApp, Telegram, Facebook Messenger, and Viber. You can enable any combination, reorder the platforms, and customize the launcher color, position, open/close icons, and size. You can also choose whether the floating contact button shows on mobile devices.

= Is the Click to Chat / WhatsApp button free? =

Yes. The Click to Chat floating contact button is included free in Social Icons & Sharing Buttons by WPZOOM, with support for WhatsApp, Telegram, Messenger, and Viber chat buttons.

= How does the Print button work? =

The Print button triggers the browser's native print dialog, allowing visitors to print the current page. It's disabled by default and can be enabled in the block settings.

= How does the Copy Link button work? =

The Copy Link button copies the current page URL to the visitor's clipboard and displays a success message. It works without requiring any additional configuration.

= Can I upload custom SVG icons? =

Yes! In the Social Icons Block, you can upload custom SVG icons by clicking on any icon and selecting "Insert Custom SVG Icon" from the popover menu.

= Does this plugin slow down my website? =

No. The plugin is optimized for performance and only loads the icon fonts and scripts that are actually being used on your pages. Fonts can be preloaded for even better performance.

= Is this plugin GDPR compliant? =

Yes! Social Icons & Sharing Buttons does not collect any information from your visitors, therefore it's 100% GDPR compliant.
