What data is sent and when

  • Embed script — When a page loads on your site, the plugin loads a JavaScript file from https://floatmessage.com/embed/floatmessage.js to render your configured floating messages and chat widget. Your User ID is passed as a data attribute on the script tag.
  • Account connection — When you click “Connect FloatMessage Account”, the plugin opens floatmessage.com/login with a callback URL pointing back to your WordPress admin. After authentication, FloatMessage redirects back with your User ID. Your WordPress domain is automatically added to your FloatMessage account during this process.
  • Account status check — When an admin visits the plugin settings page, the plugin sends your User ID to https://floatmessage.com/api/wp-status to check your plan/trial status. This response is cached for 4 hours.
  • Live chat — When visitors use the chat widget, messages are transmitted to FloatMessage servers in real time.

No visitor data is stored in your WordPress database. All message and chat data is managed on FloatMessage servers.
