Description
NP Lead Chatbot adds a polished, animated floating chat widget to your WordPress site that captures visitor name, email, phone, and message – then stores every lead directly in your WordPress admin.
No third-party services. No monthly fees. No data leaves your server.
Key Features
- Floating chat widget – animated slide-up popup triggered by a fixed button in the corner of every page
- Inline shortcode – embed the form anywhere with
[npleadchat] - Leads dashboard – view, search, sort, and manage all leads from WP Admin NP Lead Chatbot
- CSV export – download all leads as a spreadsheet with one click
- Bulk actions – select and delete multiple leads at once
- Search & sort – find leads by name, email, phone, or message; sort by name or date
- Client-side validation – instant feedback before form submission
- REST API powered – uses the WordPress REST API with nonce verification
- GDPR-friendly – all data stored locally in your own database, no external services
- Accessibility ready – ARIA labels, roles, keyboard navigation, and Escape-to-close support
- Lightweight – ~14 KB CSS, ~4 KB JS, no jQuery UI or heavy dependencies beyond jQuery
How It Works

FAQ
-
Does this plugin work with any WordPress theme?
-
Yes. The widget uses fixed positioning and high z-index values, so it works with any theme without conflicts.
-
Where are leads stored?
-
All leads are stored in a custom database table (
wp_npleadchat_leads) in your own WordPress database. No data is sent to any external server. -
How do I view my leads?
-
Go to WP Admin NP Lead Chatbot. You will see a table of all submitted leads with search, sort, and bulk-delete options.
-
How do I export leads?
-
In the leads dashboard, click the Export Leads button in the top right. This downloads all leads as a
.csvfile. -
Can I embed the form in a page instead of using the floating widget?
-
Yes. Add the shortcode
[npleadchat]to any page, post, or widget area. -
Can I change the colors or text?
-
Color and text customization via the admin settings panel is planned for a future release. You can also override styles using your theme’s custom CSS.
-
Does this plugin slow down my site?
-
No. The CSS (~14 KB) and JS (~4 KB) are only loaded when needed, and the font files (~14 KB each) are bundled locally — no external requests.
-
Is this plugin GDPR compliant?
-
The plugin itself makes no external requests and stores data only in your own database. Whether your overall data collection practices are GDPR compliant depends on how you use the collected lead data. We recommend adding a privacy notice to your site explaining how you handle visitor data.
-
What happens to the database table if I uninstall the plugin?
-
The plugin includes an
uninstall.phpfile that removes the custom database table when the plugin is deleted from the Plugins screen.
