What You Need

• Your Chatbot ID from the SiteSideKick dashboard

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.
