Create a developer account with your chat provider and set up a messaging app to obtain a **Phone Number ID** and **permanent access token**. 2. Enter these credentials in **PingLead Settings Notifications**. 3. Enter the recipient phone number in E.164 format (e.g. `919876543210` for India). 4. Click **Send Test Message** to verify the connection. #### Developer Hooks **Actions:** * `pinglead_lead_processed( $lead, $lead_data )` — Fires after a lead is saved and processed. * `pinglead_workflow_action( $action, $lead )` — Fires for each custom workflow action. **Filters:** * `pinglead_crm_payload( $payload, $lead )` — Modify the CRM webhook payload. ### External services This plugin connects to the following third-party services to provide its core features. These connections only happen when you configure the relevant credentials in PingLead Settings; nothing is sent anywhere by default. **WhatsApp Business Cloud API (Meta)** This plugin uses the WhatsApp Business Cloud API to send you an instant notification whenever a visitor submits your lead capture form, and to send the “Send Test Message” check from Settings. It sends the submitted lead’s name, email, phone, message, source page URL, and lead score to Meta’s WhatsApp Cloud API endpoint, only at the moment a form is submitted( or when you manually click “Send Test Message”), and only if you have entered an API access token, phone number ID, and recipient number in Settings. No data is sent if these credentials are not configured, or while Demo Mode is active. This service is provided by Meta Platforms, Inc. / Meta Platforms Ireland Limited: [Terms of Service](https://www.facebook.com/legal/WhatsApp-Business-Platform-Cloud-API), [Privacy Policy](https://www.whatsapp.com/legal/privacy-policy). **Google reCAPTCHA** This plugin can optionally use Google reCAPTCHA (v2 or v3) to protect the lead capture form against spam and automated submissions. It is only active if you enable reCAPTCHA and enter a site key and secret key in PingLead Settings Security. When enabled, the reCAPTCHA script is loaded from Google’s servers on any page showing the form, and a verification request containing the visitor’s reCAPTCHA token is sent to Google when the form is submitted. Google’s reCAPTCHA collects technical and interaction data from the visitor’s browser as part of its bot-detection process; see Google’s documentation for details of what is collected. This service is provided by Google LLC: [Terms of Service](https://policies.google.com/terms), [Privacy Policy](https://policies.google.com/privacy). **Your own CRM webhook (optional, user-configured)** If you enable CRM Sync and enter your own webhook URL in PingLead Settings CRM Sync, the plugin will send each new lead’s data (name, email, phone, message, score, status, and source URL) as JSON to that URL when a lead is submitted. This only happens if you have explicitly entered a webhook URL; the destination is entirely your choice (e.g. Zapier, Make, your own CRM, or any custom endpoint), so no third party is named here — please refer to the terms and privacy policy of whichever service you choose to connect. ## Screenshots [⌊The Leads dashboard — stats at a glance, search, filtering, and CSV export.⌉⌊The Leads dashboard — stats at a glance, search, filtering, and CSV export.⌉[ The Leads dashboard — stats at a glance, search, filtering, and CSV export.

Upload the `pinglead` folder to `/wp-content/plugins/`. 2. Activate the plugin through the **Plugins** screen. 3. Go to **PingLead Settings** and configure your notification credentials. 4. Add `[pinglead_form]` to any page or post. ## FAQ ### Do I need a messaging business account? Yes. You need a developer account with the relevant Cloud API enabled. A free tier is available for testing. ### Can I use this with multiple forms? Yes — use different `id` attributes in the shortcode: `[pinglead_form id="contact"]` and `[pinglead_form id="quote"]`. ### Is my data stored securely? All lead data is stored in your WordPress database. When a visitor submits the form, PingLead stores the name, email, phone (if provided), message, the page URL the form was submitted from, the visitor’s IP address, and browser user agent string— all locally in your own database, never sent to any third party unless you’ve enabled WhatsApp notifications, reCAPTCHA, or CRM sync as described in “External services” below. API keys are stored using the standard WordPress Options API. We recommend keeping your WordPress installation up to date and using an SSL certificate. ### What happens to my data if I uninstall the plugin? All plugin data (leads, settings, workflows) is permanently removed from your database when you delete the plugin. ### Does this support reCAPTCHA? Yes — PingLead supports both Google reCAPTCHA v3 (invisible, score-based) and v2( checkbox), using the same site/secret key fields. ### Can I try the plugin before adding my real WhatsApp credentials? Yes. Go to **PingLead Settings** and click **Start Demo**. This loads a handful of sample leads into your dashboard and safely simulates notifications — no real WhatsApp messages are sent and no real CRM webhooks fire while Demo Mode is on. Turn it off any time to remove the sample data and return to normal use; your real settings are never affected. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “PingLead” is open source software.
