Kinetix Messaging by Ppros

Every customer conversation in one inbox, inside WordPress. Kinetix Messaging connects your messaging channels to a shared team inbox in your WordPress admin. Your agents reply from one screen, an optional AI assistant answers from your own content, and conversations go to the right person automatically.

Features

Channels in one inbox

• Live Chat website widget, with a welcome message, starter buttons, and image, GIF, and PDF uploads.

• WhatsApp Business, Facebook Messenger, and Instagram DM through the Meta Graph API.

• Telegram, LINE, Viber, and WeChat.

• SMS through Twilio, Vonage, Sinch, Plivo, Telnyx, or MessageBird.

• Email over SMTP and IMAP, or inbound webhooks from Mailgun, SendGrid, Postmark, or SparkPost.

Team inbox

• Assign conversations to agents and organise agents into departments.

• A Messaging Agent role that gives team members the inbox and nothing else in wp-admin.

• Online and Away status for each agent. New chats are only auto-assigned to agents who are online.

• Quick replies, status (open, pending, resolved), and priority.

• Search and filter by channel or status. New messages appear without refreshing the page.

• Browser notifications with sound and an unread count in the tab title, so agents notice new chats in a background tab.

• Email alerts when a conversation is assigned to an agent, or when a customer has waited too long for a reply.

• Light and dark themes.

AI Support (optional)

• An AI assistant greets new conversations and answers from a knowledge base you control: articles you write, plus your published posts and pages if you choose.

• Detects which department a question belongs to and assigns an online agent from that team.

• Hands over to a human whenever the customer asks, with a wait message you write.

• Works with OpenAI, Claude (Anthropic), Gemini (Google), Grok (xAI), or any OpenAI-compatible endpoint, using your own API key.

Availability and automation

• Weekly business hours in your site’s timezone, including overnight shifts.

• An offline notice that tells customers when you’re back.

• Auto-replies for each channel.

• Share links and a [kmbp_channel_button] shortcode for any channel. It works in Gutenberg and Elementor.

Why Kinetix

• It lives in WordPress. No separate dashboard and no extra logins: your agents are WordPress users and the inbox sits in wp-admin.

• Your conversations stay in your database. Messages are stored in your own WordPress database, not on a third-party helpdesk.

• All your channels in one place. WhatsApp, Instagram, Telegram, SMS, email, and live chat share one inbox instead of six apps.

• AI on your terms. Use the AI provider you prefer with your own key, and pay that provider directly. AI is off until you turn it on, and customers can always reach a human.

• Free and open source. GPLv2 licensed, with the full source code public on GitHub.

Quick start

• Install and activate the plugin.

• Open Kinetix Messaging → Inbox and click the gear icon to open Settings. Choose a channel, paste its credentials, and switch it on.

• Add teammates as WordPress users with the Messaging Agent role, and assign them to departments under Agents & Departments.

• Optional: set business hours under Availability and switch on AI Support.

External services

This plugin is an omnichannel messaging inbox. It does not call any third-party API until a site administrator enables a channel and saves that channel’s credentials in the plugin settings. co so visitors can chat.

Outbound API calls otherwise occur only when an authorized agent sends a message, when the plugin registers or checks a webhook, when optional auto-replies are sent, when scheduled email polling runs (IMAP, if configured), when the optional AI Support feature is enabled with an administrator-supplied API key, or when an administrator optionally submits the deactivation feedback form.

Inbound messages are delivered to your WordPress site by the messaging provider via webhooks you configure in each provider’s dashboard. Those providers may send message content, sender identifiers, and profile metadata to your site.

The shared HTTP client ( wp_remote_request ) in the plugin is used to reach the services below.

Email (administrator-configured)

The email channel does not use a fixed third-party API endpoint. When enabled, the site administrator supplies their own SMTP and/or IMAP server hostname and credentials. The plugin connects only to those administrator-configured mail servers to send outbound email or poll for inbound messages (every 5 minutes via WordPress cron, when IMAP is configured).

Inbound email may also be pushed to your site via a webhook URL you configure in an inbound-parse or route service chosen by the site administrator. Common options include:

Mailgun — Data sent: sender/recipient addresses, subject, message body, and attachments (as configured in your Mailgun route). Service provided by Sinch Mailgun: Terms of Service, Privacy Policy.

SendGrid — Data sent: sender/recipient addresses, subject, message body, and attachments (as configured in your Inbound Parse webhook). Service provided by Twilio SendGrid: Terms of Service, Privacy Policy.

AI Support providers

Optional and off by default. AI is configured entirely inside this plugin (Settings → AI Support): the administrator turns the feature on, picks exactly one provider, and saves their own API key for it. Nothing is sent to any AI provider until that is done.

When enabled, the plugin calls the selected provider:

• when a customer message arrives in a conversation that has no human agent assigned, to decide which department it belongs to and to write a reply;

• when an administrator adds, edits, or re-indexes a knowledge-base article, and when a published post or page is saved while “Index WordPress posts & pages” is on, to create search embeddings (OpenAI, Gemini, and OpenAI-compatible endpoints only).

Data sent: the API key, the chosen model name, the customer’s latest message and up to the 12 most recent messages in that conversation, the names and slugs of your departments, and knowledge-base excerpts that match the question (from articles you add and, if enabled, your published posts and pages). No data is sent for conversations that already have a human agent assigned or where the customer asked for a human.

Deactivation feedback

Optional. When an administrator deactivates the plugin from the Plugins screen, they may submit a short feedback form. co.

Data sent (only if the form is submitted): deactivation reason, optional comments, site URL, WordPress version, PHP version, plugin version, and the administrator’s name and email (used as Reply-To).
