Yes. Flexible Chat is designed as a chat frontend for your n8n workflows, so you need an n8n instance with at least one HTTP webhook endpoint. The plugin sends messages from your WordPress or WooCommerce site to that webhook URL and displays the responses from your n8n workflow. This makes it ideal if you already use n8n for automation or AI and simply need an easy chat widget on your site. ### Does it support real-time streaming like ChatGPT? Yes. Flexible Chat supports real-time streaming responses, so your visitors see the AI typing the answer as it is generated, similar to ChatGPT. This creates a smoother, more natural chat experience and reduces perceived waiting time. Streaming works out of the box as long as your n8n workflow returns the response in a compatible streaming format. ### Can I change the chat bubble colors to match my brand? Yes. You can fully customize the chat widget to match your brand. In the settings you can change primary and background colors, text colors, and border radius, and you can also adjust font sizes. If you need even more control, you can override the styling using CSS variables or custom CSS classes. ### Can I pass user data (like email or user ID) to my workflow? Yes. Flexible Chat lets you send custom metadata along with every message to your n8n webhook. You can include data such as the current user ID, email, current page URL, or subscription plan in a custom JSON payload. This allows your n8n workflow to personalize responses, log conversations per user, or integrate with your CRM or other tools. ### Is it possible to ask the user what they want to talk about first? Yes. The plugin includes a built-in topic routing feature. You can configure suggested topics such as “Sales”, “Support”, or “Orders”, and the user selects one before starting the conversation. The selected topic is sent to your n8n workflow so you can route the chat to the right AI agent or logic branch. ### Are coding skills needed to use the plugin? No coding skills are required to use Flexible Chat. You only need to paste your n8n webhook URL and configure the options in the WordPress admin panel. Developers can go further with custom CSS, metadata, or advanced n8n workflows, but a non-technical user can set up a basic AI chat in a few minutes. ### Where do I report security bugs found in this plugin?
