Overview

About this plugin

The Hexabot Chat Widget plugin helps WordPress site owners add a self-hosted AI chatbot to their website in minutes. It embeds the Hexabot v3 conversational AI widget on your public pages and connects visitors to Hexabot-powered workflows for support, lead capture, onboarding, and customer engagement.

Hexabot v3 is a self-hosted, fair-core AI automation platform for building conversational workflows that talk, act, and remember. It can power a website AI assistant, a customer support chatbot, lead qualification flows, product onboarding, internal operations, and other AI workflow automation use cases across web chat and additional channels.

This chatbot plugin for WordPress handles the website embed for you, so no theme-file editing is required. Configure the visitor experience in Hexabot Admin, then connect WordPress by entering two values in Settings > Hexabot Chat Widget:

  • API URL: the public URL of your Hexabot v3 API.
  • Source Ref: the reference for the Hexabot v3 Web Source created for this WordPress website.

The Web Source controls website-specific behavior such as allowed domains, default workflow, greeting, window title, avatar, menu, upload permissions, and interaction options. The WordPress settings connect your site to that Web Source and let you apply client-side overrides such as workflow routing, primary color, language, transport mode, and upload size.

Learn more in the official Hexabot repository.

Key Features:

  • Embed Hexabot Chat Widget on your WordPress website.
  • Connect WordPress to Hexabot v3 using API URL and Source Ref.
  • Run conversational AI workflows from a WordPress chat widget.
  • Use the widget as an AI chatbot for WordPress, website AI assistant, customer support chatbot, or lead capture assistant.
  • Optionally route visitors to a specific workflow with Workflow ID.
  • Customize the primary widget color from the WordPress admin panel.
  • Configure the widget language.
  • Choose WebSocket or polling transport.
  • Set a client-side upload size limit.
  • Add the widget with no theme-file editing required.
  • Works with self-hosted Hexabot v3 instances.
  • Use bundled local widget assets for WordPress review compatibility.

Typical use cases include AI customer support, FAQ automation, lead capture, sales qualification, onboarding flows, appointment or request intake, and guided self-service experiences.

Configuration happens in two places:

  • In Hexabot Admin, create or select a Web Source for this website and configure allowed domains, source behavior, and default workflow.
  • In WordPress, open Settings > Hexabot Chat Widget and enter the Hexabot API URL and Source Ref.
