## Lead Management Dashboard — Turn Chat Traffic Into a Real Lead List |
| 87 |
|
| 88 |
Every email and name your chatbot captures now lands in one clean, sortable dashboard — so you can finally see your leads as a list instead of hunting through individual transcripts. |
| 89 |
|
| 90 |
**What You Get:** |
| 91 |
|
| 92 |
- **One Row Per Lead** — emails captured across multiple sessions are automatically deduplicated, so each lead appears once with a conversation count and a "last seen" timestamp |
| 93 |
- **Top Pages Capturing Leads** — instantly see which pages on your site are driving the most lead captures; click any page to filter the list to leads from that page only |
| 94 |
- **Powerful Filtering** — search by email or name, filter by date range (24h / 7d / 30d / 90d / all-time), or filter by status (leads with a conversation vs. orphan leads who submitted the form but never chatted) |
| 95 |
- **Orphan Lead Tracking** — visitors who drop their email in the pre-chat form but never send a message are surfaced separately so you never lose a captured contact |
| 96 |
- **One-Click View Conversation** — jump from any lead straight into their latest full conversation in the transcripts viewer |
| 97 |
- **Bulk Delete + CSV Export** — select multiple leads to delete or export in one action; CSV export supports email-only or email + name + conversation count + last-seen + top page |
| 98 |
- **Clean, Responsive, Native** — works beautifully on desktop, tablet, and phone with the same polished dashboard feel as the rest of MxChat |
| 99 |
- **Zero Setup, Zero Migration** — uses your existing chat data, no new database tables, no configuration — turn on lead capture and the dashboard just works |
| 100 |
|
| 101 |
**Perfect for** sales teams managing inbound leads, agencies reporting to clients, and anyone who wants to see the actual ROI of their chatbot at a glance without digging through individual conversations. |
| 102 |
|
| 103 |
## AI Content Generator — Create Blog Posts & Landing Pages with AI |
| 104 |
|
| 105 |
MxChat includes a built-in AI Content Generator that lets you create full blog posts and landing pages directly from your WordPress dashboard — no external tools or copy-pasting required. |
| 106 |
|
| 107 |
**How It Works:** |

|
| 109 |
1. **Describe Your Content** — Enter a topic, title, or detailed prompt and choose between a blog post or landing page layout |

| 111 |
3. **Real-Time Preview** — See your content exactly as it will appear on your site with a live scaled preview, including desktop and mobile viewport switching |
| 112 |
4. **Edit with AI Chat** — Use the built-in AI chat panel to request changes like "make the heading bigger" or "change the background to blue" — the AI updates your content in real time |
| 113 |
5. **Publish Instantly** — Content is saved as a native WordPress post or page with clean HTML, SEO metadata, and responsive design that works with any theme |
| 114 |
|

|
| 242 |
= What is RAG technology and how does it work? = |
| 243 |
|
| 244 |
RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) is an AI technique that retrieves relevant information from your knowledge base before generating responses. When a visitor asks a question, MxChat searches your trained content using vector embeddings, finds the most relevant matches, and provides that context to the AI model. This ensures accurate, factual answers based on your actual website content rather than generic AI responses. |
| 245 |
|
| 246 |
= Does MxChat work with WooCommerce? = |

| 249 |
|
| 250 |
= Can I customize the AI chatbot appearance? = |
| 251 |
|
| 252 |
Yes. MxChat offers extensive customization options including custom colors, chatbot icon, AI avatar, chat bubble size, light/dark/system themes, positioning (left/right), custom CSS, greeting messages, placeholder text, and widget layouts.

| 253 |
|
| 254 |
= How do I add the chatbot to my WordPress site? = |
| 255 |
|
| 256 |
You can add the chatbot using the shortcode `[mxchat_chatbot floating="yes"]` for a floating widget or `[mxchat_chatbot floating="no"]` for an embedded chat. Alternatively, enable "Append to Body" in settings to automatically display the chatbot on all pages without shortcodes. |
| 257 |
|
| 258 |
= Does MxChat support streaming responses? = |

= What is the Chat Transcripts feature? = |
| 263 |
|

| 273 |
|
| 274 |
= Does MxChat support multiple languages? = |
| 275 |
|
| 276 |
Yes. The AI chatbot supports multi-language conversations and automatically responds in the language your visitors use. MxChat also supports right-to-left (RTL) languages like Arabic and Hebrew. |
| 277 |
|
| 278 |
= How much do AI API calls cost? = |
| 279 |

| 283 |
|
| 284 |
Yes. All conversation data is stored locally on your WordPress site, giving you complete control. Configure automatic data retention policies, export chat transcripts, or delete conversations as needed for compliance. |
| 285 |
|
| 286 |
= Can I restrict chatbot access to certain users? = |
| 287 |
|
| 288 |
Yes. MxChat includes role-based access controls. Restrict the chatbot to logged-in users only, specific user roles, or keep it public. You can also restrict specific knowledge base content to certain user roles. |
| 289 |
|
| 290 |
= Does MxChat support live chat handoff? = |
| 291 |
|
| 292 |
Yes. MxChat integrates with Slack for live agent handoff. When the AI cannot help or a visitor requests human support, conversations can be seamlessly transferred to your team via Slack. |
| 293 |
|
| 294 |
= What are Actions and how do they work? = |
| 295 |
|
| 296 |
Actions are capabilities your chatbot can perform — lead capture, appointment booking, support tickets, page redirects, image generation, web search, or custom JavaScript. MxChat gives you two ways to fire them, and you can use either one or both together: |
| 297 |
|
| 298 |
* **Trigger Phrases** – the original system. A smart vector embedding match fires an action when a visitor's message matches a phrase you've set up. Precise, deterministic control over exactly when each action runs. |
| 299 |
* **AI Tools (function calling)** – the chatbot decides on its own when to run an enabled action, straight from natural language, with no phrases to configure. The easiest way to get started; it needs a tool-capable AI model. |
| 300 |
|
| 301 |
Manage both from the Actions area in your MxChat settings, which holds Trigger Phrases and AI Tools side by side. |
| 302 |
|
| 303 |
= Can visitors upload documents to chat? = |
| 304 |
|
| 305 |
Yes. Enable document uploads to let visitors chat with PDFs and Word documents. The AI extracts and processes document content in real-time, allowing contextual Q&A about uploaded files. |
| 306 |
|
| 307 |
= Does MxChat support image generation? = |
| 308 |
|
| 309 |
Yes. With OpenAI GPT Image and Google Imagen integration, the AI chatbot can generate images based on user descriptions directly within the chat conversation. |
| 310 |
|
| 311 |
= How does the knowledge base auto-sync work? = |
| 312 |
|
| 313 |
Enable auto-sync for posts, pages, WooCommerce products, or custom post types. When you publish or update content, MxChat automatically updates the knowledge base with the new information. No manual re-importing required. |
| 314 |
|
| 315 |
= Can I use Advanced Custom Fields (ACF) with MxChat? = |
| 316 |
|
| 317 |
Yes. MxChat fully supports Advanced Custom Fields. ACF field data is automatically included when importing content. Use the ACF Field Settings to control which custom fields are included or excluded from the knowledge base—perfect for hiding private notes or internal data from the chatbot. |
| 318 |
|
| 319 |
= What embedding models does MxChat support? = |
| 320 |
|
| 321 |
MxChat supports multiple embedding models for vector search including OpenAI text-embedding-ada-002, text-embedding-3-small, text-embedding-3-large, Google Gemini embedding, and Voyage AI embeddings. Choose the model that best fits your accuracy and cost requirements. |
| 322 |
|
| 323 |
= Is there a free version of MxChat? = |
| 324 |
|
| 325 |
Yes. MxChat is available for free on the WordPress plugin repository with full AI chatbot functionality. Premium add-ons are available for advanced features like the AI Theme Generator and priority support. |

== Changelog == |
| 339 |
|
| 340 |
= 3.2.14 - July 18, 2026 = |
| 341 |
* New: Editor Assistant — optional AI writing actions right inside the WordPress block editor. Select a paragraph, heading, list, or quote block and rewrite it (concise, expanded, formal, or casual), summarize it, translate it to another language, continue writing, or fix grammar and spelling, then Accept or Discard. It is off by default and uses the AI model you already configured. |
| 342 |
* New: You can now add YouTube videos to your knowledge base. A new YouTube option on the Import screen takes a video link and, per video, either auto-fetches its title, channel, and captions or lets you write your own description. When a visitor's question matches a video, the answer includes it as a playable embed right inside the chat that loads no YouTube player or Google cookies until the visitor taps play. |
| 343 |
* New: Live agent handoff can now follow an availability schedule, so visitors are only offered a human during the days and hours your team is actually reachable, and the chatbot simply keeps answering outside them. Slack and Telegram each get their own independent schedule on their own settings tab, so a channel staffed at different hours keeps its own calendar. It is off by default and uses your site timezone. |
| 344 |
* New: Added the latest OpenAI GPT-5.6 models — Sol, Terra, and Luna — for both your chatbot and content generation. |
| 345 |
* New: MxChat AI Search now appears on the Pro and Extensions page alongside the other add-ons, so you can discover it from inside your dashboard. |
| 346 |
* New: Developers can now add their own trusted links to the chatbot's allowed-links list with the new mxchat_valid_urls filter, so links returned by custom function-calling tools stay clickable in replies. |
| 347 |
* Fixed: Editing a Knowledge Base entry no longer throws away your work. Clicking outside the edit box, or selecting text and releasing the mouse just past its edge, used to close it and discard everything you had typed. The box now closes only when you ask it to — the close or cancel button, the Escape key, or a successful save — and confirms first if you have unsaved changes. The same fix applies to the Add Tool and Edit Tool dialog on the Actions screen. |
| 348 |
* Fixed: Product and image search now correctly refine your search terms when a GPT-5 model is selected. Previously the refinement step silently stopped working and fell back to the raw text, weakening results. |
| 349 |
* Fixed: The Telegram live-agent webhook is no longer accepted without verification when a secret token has not been set; requests are now validated by origin and a reminder is shown to configure a secret. |
| 350 |
* Fixed: The Testing page's chatbot replica now uses the exact same knowledge base as your live chatbot. On sites running Pinecone with the Multi-Bot add-on active, the testing chat was quietly searching the WordPress database instead. |
| 351 |
* Fixed: Automatic transcript deletion now repairs its own schedule if the scheduled cleanup task is ever lost, so old transcripts no longer stop being deleted while your settings still say retention is on. The Transcripts settings also now show when the next cleanup will run. |
| 352 |
|
| 353 |
= 3.2.13 - July 10, 2026 = |
| 354 |
* New: Claude Sonnet 5 is now selectable as both a chat model and a content generation model. |
| 355 |
* New: The Knowledge Base Custom Post Meta section can scan your content and suggest custom meta keys as clickable options, so you can add non-ACF meta to the embedding whitelist without knowing the exact key names. |
| 356 |
* Fixed: Knowledge Base imports of PDFs and web pages no longer fail with a 403 error on firewall-protected hosts (SiteGround, Wordfence, Cloudflare) — MXChat now identifies itself with an honest, versioned MXChatBot user agent you can allowlist if needed. |
| 357 |
* Fixed: PDFs a visitor links in a live chat now use the same MXChatBot identity, so a firewall that allowlists MXChatBot lets them through too. |
| 358 |
* Fixed: The close button on the pre-chat greeting bubble now works on chatbots with a custom bot ID, including Multi-Bot setups, not just the default chatbot. |
| 359 |
* Improved: The Custom Post Meta help text now points to the built-in key scanner and notes that array and repeater values are flattened during embedding. |
| 360 |
|
| 361 |
= 3.2.12 - June 30, 2026 = |
| 362 |
* Fixed: Resolved a WordPress.org packaging issue from the previous release that could cause the update to fail to download or appear to hang in the WordPress dashboard on some sites. This maintenance release republishes the plugin so every site can update normally and receive the recent improvements from 3.2.11 — including the per-provider Test API key buttons, built-in WPML and Polylang translation for the chat widget, Google Gemini web search, the optional Max Input Length character counter, cleaner Slack live-agent links, the Knowledge View indexed content panel, and the security and Pinecone matching fixes. No functional changes from 3.2.11; no settings or data are affected. |
| 363 |
|
| 364 |
= 3.2.11 - June 29, 2026 = |
| 365 |
* New: Each AI provider API key field (OpenAI, X.AI, Claude, DeepSeek, Google Gemini, OpenRouter) now has a Test key button that checks whether the key actually works in one click, so you can confirm a key is valid right after pasting it instead of finding out only when a chat fails. It runs a quick, free validation check and never spends credits. |
| 366 |
* Fixed: When restricting knowledge by tag under Knowledge then Role Restrictions, you can now enter a tag by its display name or its slug. Previously only the exact slug worked, so typing a real tag's name returned a confusing error; the field is now labeled Tag (name or slug) and gives an actionable message when no matching tag exists. |
| 367 |
* Fixed: On sites using Pinecone for knowledge, answers added directly through Knowledge then Import Options then Direct Content (manual entries with no source link) are now used by the chatbot when they are the best match. Previously the bot could reply that it did not have the information even though the manual entry clearly matched, and the testing panel showed zero sources used; both are now correct. |
| 368 |
* New: Built-in WPML and Polylang compatibility for the chat widget text. The widget's visible strings (top bar title, greeting, AI agent label, input placeholder, the email and name capture form copy, and the satisfaction prompts) now show up automatically in WPML String Translation, so you can translate the widget into each language without registering every field by hand. |
| 369 |
* New: Optional Max Input Length setting caps how many characters a visitor can type or paste into a single message, so you can stop overly long pastes from being sent to the AI. It sits just below the Input Placeholder option in the chatbot settings. Leave it at 0 for unlimited, which is the default and keeps existing behavior unchanged. |
| 370 |
* Fixed: Security hardening for the chat intro message setting, following a Wordfence advisory. The intro message is now escaped when shown on the settings page and sanitized when saved, so a crafted value can no longer run script in the admin area on multisite sites or sites where unfiltered HTML is disabled. |
| 371 |
* Fixed: When a live agent replies from Slack with a link, the website visitor now sees a clean, clickable link instead of Slack's raw formatting with a stray closing bracket. Slack user and channel mentions and escaped characters are also tidied up before the message reaches the visitor. |
| 372 |
* New: The Slack live-agent channel now shows the visitor's name and email at the top of the conversation when they were captured at the start of the chat, so your agent can see who they are talking to instead of just a session ID and a user ID of zero for guests. |
| 373 |
* Improved: When a maximum message length is set, the chat box now shows a small live character counter as the visitor nears the limit, ramping from a neutral color to amber to red, with a gentle nudge if they reach the cap. This replaces the old behavior where typing past the limit silently did nothing and looked broken. The counter uses only numbers, so it reads correctly on sites in any language. |
| 374 |
* New: When the built-in Web Search option is on, chatbots using a Google Gemini model now answer using live Google Search results, just like OpenAI models already do. Previously the Web Search setting only affected OpenAI models and silently did nothing for Gemini, so Gemini users had to add the separate Perplexity add-on to get web-grounded answers. Gemini's built-in search uses the Google API key you already configured, at no extra cost. |
| 375 |
* New: Each Knowledge entry now has a View indexed content button that opens a read-only panel showing exactly what the chatbot indexed for it: the stored text broken into the same chunks the search uses, each chunk's length, and for Pinecone the stored metadata fields. This makes it easy to confirm what was actually saved and searched for a page or a manual entry, so you can tell at a glance why a piece of content is or is not being matched, without changing anything. |
| 376 |
|
| 377 |
= 3.2.10 - June 19, 2026 = |
| 378 |
* New: AI Tools (function calling) — the chatbot can now decide on its own when to use your enabled tools, such as web search, image generation, answering from an uploaded PDF, and active add-on actions like WooCommerce, straight from natural language with no trigger phrases to set up. Turn it on under Actions then AI Tools (off by default; needs a tool-capable AI model), add the tools you want with a guided picker, and optionally tell the assistant in plain language when to use each one. Tools that spend money, expose customer data, or hand off to a human stay off until you enable them deliberately |
| 379 |
* New: Optional "Start new chat" button in the chat window menu — lets visitors clear the current conversation and start fresh in one click, without turning off chat persistence (off by default; enable it under Chatbot then Display, with a customizable label) |
| 380 |
* Improved: The Actions area is clearer — the original phrase-matching system is now called Trigger Phrases and sits alongside AI Tools under one Actions menu, with AI Tools listed first as the recommended path and a plain-language explainer of when to use each |
| 381 |
* Improved: Readable, leak-safe AI error messages now cover every provider (Claude, OpenAI, xAI, Google Gemini, DeepSeek and OpenRouter) for both API errors and connection or timeout failures — site admins get an actionable hint such as choosing another model in Settings, while visitors only ever see a friendly fallback and never raw API or network details |
| 382 |
* Improved: Applying or changing an AI theme, and toggling Pinecone, now auto-clears supported page caches the same way other settings changes do — no more stale widget appearance after a theme change |
| 383 |
* Fixed: On multi-bot sites, non-streaming replies now correctly use the bot assigned to the visitor's session instead of falling back to the default bot's prompt and knowledge, and a repeated PHP notice in the debug log is gone |
| 384 |
* Fixed: Images created with the Gemini image generator now display correctly in the chat window — previously the bot reported it had made an image but nothing appeared, because the file was saved with the wrong file type |
| 385 |
* Fixed: The Slack live-agent setup notice in Settings now links to the current setup guide on the MxChat Core documentation page |
| 386 |
* Fixed: Two older Claude models that Anthropic has now retired (Claude 4 Opus and Claude 4 Sonnet, the May 2025 versions) have been removed from the model pickers; if your site had either one selected, it is automatically switched to the current equivalent (Claude Opus 4.8 or Claude Sonnet 4.6) so chat keeps working without any action from you |
| 387 |
= 3.2.9 - June 11, 2026 = |
| 388 |
* New: Claude Fable 5 — Anthropic's newest flagship model — available in the Select AI Model picker and the Content Generator |
| 389 |
* Fixed: Claude Opus 4.7 and 4.8 now work as the Content Generator model (these models reject the temperature setting; it is no longer sent) |
| 390 |
* New: Stop button — visitors can halt a streaming response mid-answer; the text already written is kept |
| 391 |
* New: "Show Download Transcript Button" toggle to hide the chat menu's Download Transcript item (on by default) |
| 392 |
* Improved: Settings changes now apply immediately on cached sites — MxChat purges supported page caches on save, and the chat widget fetches fresh settings when opened, so toggles no longer require clearing caches |
| 393 |
* New: "Images per Article" slider (1–5, default 3) in the Content Generator's image settings |
| 394 |
* Fixed: Chat widget interface text no longer appears in your pages' Google search-result snippets |
| 395 |
* Fixed: Admin navigation now displays correctly on right-to-left language sites (Arabic, Hebrew, Persian, and others) |
| 396 |
* Fixed: In-chat PDF and Word document upload works again, including for signed-in administrators |
| 397 |
* Fixed: Messages sent right after a bot reply no longer vanish on sites running the Image Analysis add-on |
| 398 |

| 399 |

| 400 |
* Fixed: PHP 8.2 deprecation notices no longer logged during chat requests |
| 401 |
|
| 402 |
= 3.2.8 - June 4, 2026 = |

| 404 |
* New: Global and per-role rate limits accept custom values beyond the presets |
| 405 |

| 406 |
* Fixed: Feedback "Send" button no longer renders as an invisible white-on-white block |
| 407 |
|
| 408 |

| 410 |

| 417 |

| 424 |
* Fixed: Print preview was blank on pages with MxChat installed |
| 425 |
|
| 426 |

| 427 |

| 428 |

* New: Redesigned chat-widget header with X-close icon and keyboard-accessible 3-dot menu |
