About this plugin
Lead Rotator gives each new WhatsApp click to the next salesman in your list. Staff 1, then staff 2, then staff 3, then staff 1 again. Nobody gets all the enquiries, and nobody has to pass them on by hand.
You do not need to replace your WhatsApp button. com and whatsapp://) and, at the moment of the click, swaps the number for the next salesman. The message text the visitor would send stays exactly as it was.
If your site has no WhatsApp button, you can switch on a floating button or put the [leadrotator] shortcode on any page.

Privacy
Lead Rotator stores no personal data about visitors: no IP address, no user agent, no phone number. It saves your settings in one option ( leadrotator_settings ), a counter of clicks per day, staff and page, and a ticket counter used to decide whose turn it is. Buttons lead to WhatsApp, under WhatsApp’s own privacy policy.
Pro only: the option “Same customer, same salesman” sets one cookie ( leadrotator_staff, 30 days) that holds a staff id, nothing about the visitor. Uninstalling the plugin removes its tables, settings and user preferences.
