== Description ==

Connectapre adds a smart click-to-chat button for WhatsApp, routing visitors to the right agent based on country, business hours, login status, scroll position, and more. With multi-agent support, dynamic greetings, and conversion tracking, Connectapre ensures conversations start at the right moment.

=== Highlights ===
- Configure the basics: business name, CTA copy, display delay, scroll trigger, and offline visibility.
- Store unlimited WhatsApp agents with photos, greetings, locations, and a default pick.
- Define reusable dynamic fields that generate `{placeholders}` for message templates.
- Choose from 20 pre-built WhatsApp button styles and position them in any corner.
- Works with the default WordPress media library and settings API.

A starter translation template (`languages/connectapre-smart-contact-button-en_US.po`) is included so you can localize the interface quickly.

== Installation ==

1. Upload the `connectapre` folder to `/wp-content/plugins/`.
2. Activate “Connectapre - Smart Contact Button” in **Plugins → Installed Plugins**.
3. Open **Connectapre - Smart Contact Button** in the admin menu to configure the tabs.

== Usage ==

**General tab**
- Fill in the business info and CTA text.
- Set timing options (seconds after load, % scrolled).
- Toggle “Hide When Offline” and “Enable WhatsApp CTA”.

**Agents tab**
- Add rows for each representative, including photo, phone, greeting, and location.
- Use the radio button to mark the default agent.
- The “Is Offline” checkbox stores status metadata (front-end logic can hook into it).

**Dynamic Fields tab**
- Create reusable tokens such as `{FirstName}` or `{Referrer}` by filling Name and Value.
- Callables are auto-generated so you can reference them in templates or custom integrations.

**Styling & Position tab**
- Pick one of 20 predesigned WhatsApp button skins.
- Anchor the widget to top-left, top-right, bottom-left, or bottom-right.
- Preview updates in real time before saving.

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= Does the WhatsApp button respect the “Enable WhatsApp CTA” toggle? =
In the current 1.0.0 build the button always renders once the plugin is active. A future release will wire the toggle into the front-end output.

= Can I extend the saved options on the front end? =
Yes. All settings are stored via the WordPress options API (`get_option`). Developers can consume those values in custom templates or filters.
