If you’re searching for an **n8n chat widget for WordPress**, a **live chat for WooCommerce**, or a no-code **AI chatbot plugin**, Flexible Chat is built exactly for that. With Flexible Chat you can: * Connect any **n8n HTTP webhook** to a polished frontend chat interface. * Engage visitors with **real-time streaming responses**, just like ChatGPT. * Route conversations by topic before the chat starts. * Fully customize colors, texts, and behavior – **no coding required**. #### ⚠️ Requires your own n8n instance Flexible Chat is a **frontend** only – it has no AI logic of its own. You need your own **n8n instance** (self-hosted or [n8n Cloud](https://n8n.io/), a separate service not affiliated with WP Desk) with at least one workflow exposing an **HTTP Webhook**. Build a basic workflow (Webhook AI node Respond) in n8n, copy its webhook URL, and paste it into the plugin settings. Without an n8n workflow, the plugin has nothing to connect to. #### Key features * **Seamless n8n webhook integration** – connect via a simple webhook URL. * **Streaming responses** – bot replies appear in real time as they’re generated. * **Topic routing** – suggest topics (e.g. “Sales”, “Support”) and route the chat accordingly. * **File uploads** – with strict MIME type security restrictions. * **Message feedback** – 👍 / 👎 buttons under bot responses. * **Persistent chat history** – conversations survive across sessions. * **Custom metadata** – send user ID, page URL, or subscription plan to n8n with every message. * **AI disclosure notice** – add a compliance reminder below the chat input. * **Works with WordPress and WooCommerce** – any page, post, or store page. #### Advanced customization * **Brand colors & typography** – color pickers with automatic contrast adjustment, adjustable fonts and border radius. * **Custom texts & welcome messages** – header, subtitles, placeholders, initial greeting. * **Window & toggle sizing** – exact dimensions, small/normal/large floating buttons. * **Developer-friendly** – CSS variables, class hooks, DI-driven architecture, Vite HMR support. #### 🛠 Setup (n8n workflow required first) 1. Set up an n8n workflow with a webhook and copy its URL. 2. Install and activate Flexible Chat. 3. Go to **Settings Flexible Chat Settings**. 4. Paste your n8n webhook URL into the General tab. 5. Customize colors, texts, and welcome messages. 6. Save – your AI chat widget is live! #### Need more automation?

[[ ## Installation 1. **Set up n8n first** – have an active instance with a workflow exposing an HTTP Webhook, and copy that URL. 2. Upload the plugin files to `/wp-content/plugins/flexible-chat`, or install directly through the WordPress Plugins screen. 3. Activate the plugin through the **Plugins** menu. 4. Go to **Settings Flexible Chat Settings** and paste your n8n webhook URL. 5. Customize colors, texts, and welcome messages. 6. Save changes – the widget appears automatically. ## FAQ ### Do I need an n8n account to use this plugin? Yes, and it’s required, not optional. Flexible Chat is a chat frontend for n8n – it has no built-in AI. You need your own n8n instance (self-hosted or Cloud) with a workflow exposing an HTTP Webhook. The plugin sends messages to that webhook and displays the response. If you’ve never used n8n, you’ll need to build a basic workflow there first. ### Does it support real-time streaming like ChatGPT? Yes, as long as your n8n workflow returns the response in a compatible streaming format. Visitors see the AI typing in real time, reducing perceived waiting time. ### Can I change the chat widget colors to match my brand? Yes. Change primary/background/text colors and border radius in the settings, or override styling with CSS variables or custom classes for full control. ### Can I pass user data (like email or user ID) to my n8n workflow? Yes. Send custom metadata – user ID, email, page URL, subscription plan – with every message via a custom JSON payload, so your n8n workflow can personalize responses or integrate with your CRM. ### Can I ask the visitor what they want to talk about first? Yes. Configure suggested topics (e.g. “Sales”, “Support”); the visitor’s choice is sent to n8n to route the chat to the right agent or logic branch. ### Do I need coding skills to set this up? No coding is required for the plugin itself – just paste the webhook URL and configure options in the admin panel. You will need to build at least a basic n8n workflow first, which uses n8n’s visual editor rather than code, but does require some familiarity with the tool. ### What’s the difference between Flexible Chat and Flexible Chat PRO? The free version covers a single n8n webhook with full visual customization, streaming, topic routing, and file uploads. [**Flexible Chat PRO**](https://wpdesk.net/products/flexible-chat-pro/) adds support for multiple AI agents/workflows, advanced visitor targeting, and priority support. ### Can I use Flexible Chat as a WooCommerce live chat widget? Yes. It works on any WooCommerce page – product, cart, checkout, account – the same way as on regular WordPress content. Connect it to an n8n workflow reading order or product data for a WooCommerce live chat backed by your own automation. ### Where do I report security bugs found in this plugin?
