About this plugin
ELIA Assistant connects your WordPress site to the ELIA Assistant platform, an AI chatbot for customer support. Enter your widget ID and the chat shows your saved widget settings automatically. The chat widget appears as a floating button on every page, or you can embed it inline using the [elia_assistant] shortcode.
An ELIA Assistant account is required. The plugin itself only displays the widget; conversations are handled by the ELIA Assistant service (see External Services below).
Works with WooCommerce. If your store runs on WooCommerce, the plugin creates a read-only REST API key in one click. Enter it in the ELIA Assistant dashboard and the assistant can answer questions about your products, prices and stock.
The key can only read data, never change anything in your store, and you can delete it at any time.
Features:
- Floating chat widget (window, mixed, or fullscreen mode)
- Inline embedded widget via [elia_assistant] shortcode
- Remote configuration: change appearance and behavior from the ELIA Assistant dashboard without touching WordPress
- Built-in themes and avatar selection
- CTA popup with configurable text and delay
- Automatic language detection per page (WPML, Polylang, TranslatePress, Weglot, or the site language), with a manual override
- On/off switch: hide the chat on your whole site without losing its settings
- Test mode for staging sites: messages from them are marked as tests
- WooCommerce integration: the assistant answers questions about your products, prices and stock, using a read-only key created in one click
