== External Services ==
This plugin embeds Element451’s Javascript shell script (*.shell.451.io) into your theme. This code communicates with Element451’s cloud services to power its functionality, including the Live Chat and Bolt Discovery features.

The Shell service transmits user analytics data as configured within your Element451 instance and approved within the relevant Master Service Agreement and Privacy Policy.

== Frequently Asked Questions ==
= Do I need an Element451 instance to use this plugin? =
Yes, this plugin requires an active Element451 instance. Visit element451.com to learn more and get started with Element451.
= How do I add Bolt Discovery to my website? =
First, you need to add an input and button to your template which have specific `data` attributes. You can do this manually within your code by following the instructions in our Help Center (https://help.element451.com/en/articles/9397459-integrating-bolt-discovery#h_0e5db7e2c6) or you can use the included functionality in this plugin:
* To embed a Bolt Discovery field and button directly in a PHP template, use: `<?php element451_bolt_discovery(); ?>`
* To embed a Bolt Discovery field wherever shortcodes are supported, use: `[element451_bolt_discovery]`
* To embed a Bolt Discovery field in Gutenberg, use the included block
By following these instructions the field will be functional, but not styled. Within your site’s CSS, define styles for it that suit your theme and use-case.
