External services

In order for the Kreechat plugin to work with our external messaging app, it communicates with our external API.
We use our external API to store and retrieve multiple important things.

widget/partials/api.js:6 const response = await fetch(“https://us1.kreechat.app/server/get-wordpress-messages”,{:
Retrieve the messages once a user opens the Kreechat widget. It sends the stored kreechat_token and the email of the user to our servers.

widget/partials/script.js:280 const response = await fetch(‘https://us1.kreechat.app/server/send-wordpress-file’, {:
Stores files on our server sent by the Kreechat widget. The company wordpress token is sent to the server.

$api_url = ‘https://us1.kreechat.app/server/create-wordpress-ticket’;
Creates a ticket when a new user opens the Widget and enters their email address. We send the company wordpress token and email to the server. This endpoint is used when a user opens the chat for the first time.
