External services

Auto DM Studio by LidnTech relies on external services to connect social accounts, sync automation settings, process incoming messages, and manage optional account/licensing features. No production assets are loaded from external CDNs.

Auto DM Studio Gateway API

com

This plugin connects to the Auto DM Studio Gateway API, provided by LidnTech, to bootstrap secure plugin credentials, refresh API tokens, authenticate and reconnect social accounts, publish and sync automation rules and supported messaging features, load connected account status, and retrieve analytics shown in the WordPress dashboard.

Data sent to this service depends on the action being performed. It can include the plugin install ID, install type, site locale, authentication status, selected Facebook Page, Instagram Professional account, or TikTok Business Account identifiers, automation rule settings, trigger keywords, reply text, button titles, button URLs, media attachment references or URLs, supported account messaging settings, webhook subscription status, account status, and diagnostic details needed to complete the requested action.

Data is sent when an administrator initializes the plugin, connects or reconnects a supported social account, refreshes account status, publishes or syncs rules or supported account messaging settings, refreshes analytics or insights, or when stored API credentials need to be refreshed. TikTok token refresh may occur during an authorized API operation near token expiry or through the cloud service’s scheduled background renewal process. Scheduled account tasks contain no credentials.

If a rotated token cannot immediately be saved, recovery data contains encrypted token ciphertext and account-state metadata rather than plaintext credentials; the refresh queue and its dead-letter queues use SQS-managed encryption.

This service is required for the plugin to operate because automated message processing happens through the Auto DM Studio cloud service rather than on the public WordPress site.

Meta APIs for Facebook and Instagram

com, and related Meta/Facebook/Instagram API endpoints used during account authorization, webhook subscription, profile lookup, insights retrieval, and messaging operations.

This plugin and the Auto DM Studio Gateway API use Meta APIs to connect the Facebook Page or Instagram Professional account selected by the administrator, subscribe to messaging events, retrieve account/profile information, retrieve insights where available, and send automated replies through the connected account.

Data sent to Meta can include authorization requests, selected account identifiers, access tokens supplied by Meta during authorization, webhook subscription requests, profile and insights requests, and message-send requests needed to deliver the automation configured by the site administrator.

Data is sent when an administrator starts or completes Facebook/Instagram authentication, reconnects an account, refreshes connected account status or insights, publishes webhook-related settings, or when an incoming supported message event matches a published automation rule and a reply is sent.

TikTok Business Messaging API

com, and related TikTok endpoints used for Business Account authorization, account and messaging-capability checks, webhook management, token refresh or revocation, media upload, and message delivery.

For eligible paid plans, this plugin and the Auto DM Studio Gateway API use TikTok’s Business Messaging API to connect the TikTok Business Account selected by the administrator, receive supported direct-message webhook events, manage supported messaging settings, and send automated replies through that account.

Data exchanged with TikTok can include authorization requests and codes, the selected Business Account identifier, access and refresh tokens issued by TikTok, requested messaging scopes, webhook registration details, recipient and conversation identifiers, reply text, buttons or links, and image media required to deliver an administrator-configured automation.

Supported inbound webhook data received from TikTok can include account, sender, conversation, message, timestamp, and capability details needed to match a rule and enforce TikTok messaging limits.

Data is exchanged when an administrator connects, reconnects, checks, configures, or disconnects a TikTok account; when TikTok delivers a supported webhook event; when an event matches a published automation; and when the cloud service renews a token near expiry or during its scheduled background renewal process. TikTok access and refresh tokens are stored by the Auto DM Studio cloud service using install-scoped envelope encryption and are not returned to WordPress account-status responses.

Background account-discovery tasks do not contain credentials, and any durable token-recovery task contains encrypted token material rather than plaintext.

Freemius

This plugin includes the Freemius SDK for optional account, licensing, update, and diagnostic features.

If an administrator opts in to Freemius account or diagnostic services, Freemius may receive limited install and environment information such as the site URL, WordPress version, plugin version, PHP version, and license/account identifiers for premium-package management.

Data is sent during optional Freemius opt-in or account actions, premium-package license management, plugin update checks for paid packages, and optional diagnostic/usage-insight features only when enabled by the administrator.

org free plugin does not use Freemius to unlock local plugin functionality.
