TalaDesk

Changelog

1.4.0

• Added: Public holidays — choose a country to close the chat on its public holidays, including weekend substitute days: Australia (by state/territory), Canada (by province/territory), Ireland, Kenya, Nigeria, South Africa, United Kingdom (by nation). Each holiday can be unticked or given its own button text. Calculated locally; no external requests.
• Added: Closures & Special Hours — one-off or yearly closed periods (whole days or specific times), and special opening hours that replace the normal hours on given dates.
• Added: When Closed — per reason (outside hours / holidays / closures), hide the button or show a closed button with its own text, colors and pre-filled message. {name} and {reopen} placeholders, e.g. “Closed for Christmas Day — back Monday 9:00 am”. The closed button can be clickable or a message only.
• Added: Schedule Preview on the settings page — current status and upcoming holidays/closures with exactly what visitors will see.
• Fixed: Opening hours that run past midnight (e.g. 20:00–02:00) never showed the button.
• Fixed: With full-page caching, the button’s scheduled visibility was frozen at whatever time the page was cached; the state is now evaluated in the browser and refreshed every minute.
• Fixed: Invalid active-hours values are now rejected on save instead of stored.
• Fixed: The click counter no longer throws when browser storage is blocked.
• Changed: Outside active hours the button is still hidden by default, as before — existing sites see no change until they opt in to the closed button.

1.3.4

• Added: Adjustable distance from side edge (0–500 px) — fine-tune how far the CTA sits from the left or right edge.
• Changed: Side offset uses a CSS custom property, consistent at all screen sizes (responsive override removed, same as 1.3.3’s bottom offset).

1.3.3

• Added: Adjustable distance from bottom edge (0–500 px) — push the CTA button up to clear sticky footers, cookie banners, or other bottom-of-page elements.
• Changed: Bottom offset now uses a CSS custom property so the user’s chosen value is consistent at every screen size.

1.3.2

• Added: The WhatsApp checkout opt-in now reveals a WhatsApp number field once checked, pre-filled from the billing phone already entered — edit it if updates should go to a different number (e.g. ordering for a branch but wanting updates on a personal phone).

1.3.1

• Fixed: TalaDesk_Account_Client now targets the confirmed TalaDesk API contract (source/channel/template lookups and message sending) instead of placeholder endpoint guesses.
• Changed: Source and Channel are now selected together immediately after connecting an account — channels are account-wide, not filtered by source.
• Changed: Template placeholder mapping in TalaDesk Messaging rules is now positional (Variable 1, 2, 3…) instead of named, matching the real template contract, which has no named placeholders.

1.3.0

• Added: Optional “TalaDesk Account” settings tab — connect a paid taladesk.com account via OAuth 2.0 Client Credentials to select a messaging source and channel.
• Added: TalaDesk_Account_Client — isolated API client for token exchange, source/channel/template lookups, and message sending.
• Added: Optional “TalaDesk Messaging” rules under WooCommerce (requires WooCommerce) — send a TalaDesk message using a chosen template, with placeholders mapped to order/customer data, when an order transitions between configured statuses.
• Added: Optional WooCommerce checkout opt-in checkbox (“Send me order updates via WhatsApp”) — off by default, requires a separate admin toggle even when an account is connected; reuses the existing billing phone field, no new phone field added.
• Changed: Settings page now has WhatsApp CTA / TalaDesk Account tabs.
• Changed: “Customer”-mode TalaDesk Messaging rules now skip (recorded as a new “Skipped” status, not an error) any order that did not opt in at checkout; “Custom phone number”-mode rules are unaffected.
• Fixed: The floating CTA button no longer appears on a fresh install before a Recipient ID (phone number) has been configured.
• Note: All new features are entirely optional and off by default. External requests only occur if configured and used by the site owner; the free CTA button is unaffected either way.

1.2.1

• Removed: Disabled “service” selector and the non-functional API token field — no locked or disabled UI remains.
• Removed: Internal pro-gating function and constant; the plugin is fully functional with no license checks.
• Removed: WordPress.org directory image assets (banner, icon, screenshots) from the plugin package.
• Changed: Settings page now shows a single, non-intrusive informational note about the separate premium product.
