External Services

This plugin connects to the Insertabot API service to provide AI chatbot functionality.

Service URL: https://insertabot.io

When the chatbot is enabled, the following data is transmitted:
* User chat messages and questions
* Your website URL (for context)
* API key (for authentication)

Third-Party Service Information:
* Service Provider: Insertabot (https://insertabot.io)
* Privacy Policy: https://insertabot.io/privacy
* Terms of Service: https://insertabot.io/terms

The plugin requires an API key from Insertabot to function. You can obtain a free API key by signing up at https://insertabot.io/signup

Backend Services Used by Insertabot API:
* Cloudflare Workers AI (for AI processing)
* Tavily API (for real-time web search)

Privacy

Local Data Storage:
Insertabot stores minimal data locally in your WordPress database:
* Encrypted API key (option: insertabot_api_key_encrypted)
* Plugin settings (enabled/disabled state, API base URL)
* Optional security logs (option: insertabot_security_logs) – anonymized with IP addresses masked

Data Transmission:
When users interact with the chatbot, their messages are sent to the Insertabot API service for processing. The plugin does not expose your API key to client browsers (uses short-lived tokens instead).

GDPR Compliance:
The plugin implements WordPress personal data exporters and erasers. Site administrators can export or remove personal data associated with a user via Tools Export Personal Data / Erase Personal Data in WordPress admin.

Security:
* API keys are stored using AES-256-CBC encryption
* IP addresses in logs are anonymized (last octet/80 bits zeroed)
* No personal data is sent to third parties beyond what is necessary for chatbot functionality

FAQ
ChangeLog

1.0.9

Security: Removed legacy email-only login path that was returning the API key in the response
Security: Added AI and Search circuit breakers to the chat handler and web search — circuit state is now exposed via /health
Security: Replaced hard-coded year list with a dynamic current/previous year check in the search relevance filter
Security: Removed overly broad SQL-injection heuristic that was triggering false positives
Security: Adjusted response coherence validation to only reject the literal strings “undefined” or “null”
Security: Added Content-Security-Policy header to all Worker responses
Fix: updateWidgetConfig now uses strict !== undefined checks — falsy-but-valid values (e.g. 0, empty string) are no longer silently discarded
Fix: Removed local any type aliases; Cloudflare Workers bindings (D1Database, KVNamespace, Ai) now use their correct platform types
Fix: AI model message mapping corrected for multimodal content shapes
Fix: bge-base-en-v1.5 embedding response cast to its correct output shape

1.0.8

Fix: “Upgrade to Pro” button in plugin settings now routes directly to the Insertabot dashboard — upgrade is one click away instead of buried behind the landing page
Fix: “Upgrade to Pro” on the public pricing page now routes to login instead of signup — existing users no longer hit a dead end
Fix: Various backend config corrections (DB binding name, AI model ID format, demo customer query, widget.js delivery route)

1.0.7

Fix: Stale customer_id cache was causing 401 errors on widget token exchange — ID is now resolved on every API key save, including fresh installs
Fix: API base URL now resolved through the proper internal method instead of a raw option lookup that could return empty on new installs
Fix: Static widget.js and widget-dev.js files removed — widget is now served exclusively through the tokenized Worker endpoint, eliminating a delivery conflict

1.0.6

Fix: API endpoint corrected project-wide from api.insertabot.io to insertabot.io/api/* — the api subdomain was never live and caused silent failures across the plugin and Worker
Fix: Settings menu was resetting on every “Save Changes” click when an API key was already stored

1.0.5

Fix: upgradeToPro() was silently returning 401 — X-API-Key header was missing from the Stripe checkout fetch request
Fix: handleWidgetTokenExchange route had been accidentally removed from the Worker, breaking widget authentication on all WordPress installs
Fix: “Upgrade to Pro” on landing page now correctly directs existing users through login before checkout

1.0.4

Fix: New customers were blocked from day one — null or empty allowed_domains was incorrectly refusing all widget embed requests instead of allowing all origins as documented

1.0.3

Fix: Widget no longer requires manual script tag in footer — plugin now injects it automatically on all pages
Fix: Removed async attribute from bridge script that was preventing document.currentScript from resolving widget configuration

1.0.2

Upgraded ephemeral token system: v2 tokens now include customer_id for faster widget authentication (v1 fallback retained for existing installs)
Security: upgraded rate-limit key hashing from MD5 to SHA-256
Security: added URL validation in widget bridge to prevent SSRF
Admin: API key save now automatically resolves and caches customer ID server-side

1.0.1

Updated free tier messaging to accurately reflect 20 messages per day limit

1.0.0
