Live chat and an AI agent for WordPress · by Sales Igniter

Answer every visitor, from inside WordPress

Igniter Chat puts a shared inbox, an AI agent that answers from your own pages, and a live view of your visitors right in wp-admin. Your conversations stay in your WordPress database, and your whole team answers for one price.

Runs inside wp-admin
Chats stay on your server
No per-seat fees
Knows WooCommerce and EDD orders

Shared inbox

Every chat in one inbox, right inside wp-admin

A full-screen app in your WordPress admin: the conversation list, the chat and the visitor's profile side by side. Your team signs in with the WordPress accounts they already have.

Assign chats and leave private notes for teammates
Saved replies with !, a docs search with ?, and Ctrl+K for everything else
A collision guard, so two people never answer the same chat
Snooze, reminders, saved views and keyboard shortcuts

AI agent

An AI agent that only says what your site says

It answers from the pages and docs you pick, shows where each answer came from, takes prices from your store, and hands the chat to a person, with a summary, when it should.

Pages and help docs feeding the AI agent, which answers in a chat bubble

Answers with sources

Every answer links the doc or page it came from. Pages that haven't been edited in a year are flagged and left out until you allow them.

Prices from your store

Prices come live from WooCommerce or Easy Digital Downloads. An amount it can't back up is never sent: the chat goes to a person instead.

Hands over with a summary

Refunds, billing, discounts, bugs or a request for a person go to your team, with a short summary, so nobody has to ask twice.

Helps your team write

Suggest a reply drafts an answer for the operator to check and send. Summarise sums up a long thread in one click.

Bring your own key for OpenRouter, Anthropic, OpenAI, Google or any OpenAI-compatible service, and pay the model provider directly. In our tests a chat cost well under one cent with the default model. The AI is optional: chats can go to people and email only.

Email follow-up

When a visitor leaves, the conversation follows them

Replies they missed go out in one email. They answer from their own inbox, and the reply lands back in the same thread, marked "via email".

One timeline for chat and email, with a badge on every message
A "Continue in chat" link that opens just that conversation
Your own mailbox: IMAP, a mail pipe or an inbound webhook
No tracking pixels, and a "stop emailing me" link in every email

Live visitors

See who's on your site, and say hello first

A live map and list of your visitors, with the page they're on, where they came from and the pages they've seen. Logged-in customers show their orders next to the chat.

Message any visitor straight from the list
Proactive messages by page, time on page, cart value or return visits
WooCommerce and Easy Digital Downloads orders and licences beside the chat
Visitors appear only after they agree to tracking, and no IP address leaves your server

Notifications

New chats reach your phone, even with WordPress closed

Add the inbox to your phone's home screen and turn on push. A new message arrives as a notification; tap it, and you're in the chat.

Push on Android, desktop browsers and iPhone home-screen apps (iOS 16.4 and later)
A sound, a badge and browser notifications while you work in wp-admin
Email alerts when a chat has waited too long
A test button and a delivery log for every device

Also built in

Routing rules

By page, country, language, topic or customer, to the AI, a group of people or email.

Office hours

Outside your hours the team shows as away, and the AI or email takes over.

Ratings

Visitors rate the chat when it's resolved, and you see the share of good ratings.

Contacts that remember

People are known across visits and channels, with facts your team chooses to keep.

Purchases beside the chat

Orders, licences and renewal dates for proven customers, with keys masked.

Files, both ways

Visitors and operators share files, kept private and served through signed links.

A light widget

The chat code loads only when someone opens it, stays under 30 KB gzipped, and works with page caching.

Runs on any host

Works everywhere out of the box. Add a WebSocket server for instant delivery.

Privacy

Your conversations stay on your server

Igniter Chat keeps chats, contacts and files in your WordPress database, not in another company's cloud.

Chats and files kept inside a house with a lock, with the path to an outside cloud crossed out
