An AI concierge that answers your visitors from your own pages, day and night, and sends you the lead. Popups, bars and forms too.

== Description ==

MyVisitors puts a concierge at the door of your website. It reads your pages, answers visitors' questions from them in the visitor's language, asks once for a phone number or email, and hands the conversation to you when it should: a quote, a complaint, anything it doesn't know. The lead lands in your inbox and on your phone.

From the same script you can show popups, bars, social proof, tooltips and forms in your pages, with rules for who sees them: on which pages, from an ad or a search, on a second visit, during opening hours.

This plugin puts the MyVisitors script on your site. You set up the concierge and your campaigns in your MyVisitors dashboard.

* Answers from your own pages, files and notes, and says it's an assistant.
* Speaks first when a visitor looks interested, once a visit.
* Hands over to you with a summary and a suggested reply.
* Popups, bars and forms, with page and visitor rules.
* Hosted in the EU.

== Installation ==

1. Create a free account at [notify.uptodateconnect.com](https://notify.uptodateconnect.com) and add your website.
2. Install and activate this plugin.
3. Go to Settings → MyVisitors and paste your site key. You find it in MyVisitors under Your website.
4. Open any page of your site once. MyVisitors notices the script by itself.

Nothing shows to your visitors until you switch on the concierge or publish a campaign in MyVisitors.

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= Do I need a MyVisitors account? =

Yes. The plugin only adds MyVisitors' script to your pages; the concierge, campaigns, inbox and contacts are in your MyVisitors dashboard. You can start on the free plan.

= Will it slow my site down? =

The script loads asynchronously, so your page doesn't wait for it.

= Can I hide it from myself while I work on the site? =

Yes: Settings → MyVisitors → "Don't load MyVisitors for logged-in administrators". Leave it off until MyVisitors has seen your site once.

= Where do I find my site key? =

In MyVisitors under Your website. It's the data-site value in the line MyVisitors gives you to paste.

== External services ==

This plugin connects your site to MyVisitors, a service run by its maker, so the concierge, chat and campaigns can work.

On every public page of your site, the plugin adds a script loaded from https://notify.uptodateconnect.com/loader.js, with your site key. In your visitors' browsers that script then talks to notify.uptodateconnect.com: it loads your campaigns and chat settings, and sends the page address and title, the device type, a random visitor ID kept in the browser's storage, the pages viewed during the visit and where the visit came from, which campaigns were seen, closed or clicked, messages typed into the chat, and what visitors enter into MyVisitors forms. MyVisitors' consent settings decide whether visits are recorded before a visitor agrees. Data is stored on servers in the EU (Germany).
