Chat Automation using ChatGPT & Dialogflow:

What is ChatGPT?

You probably already know it. ChatGPT is a conversational AI model developed by OpenAI, based on the GPT (Generative Pre-trained Transformer) architecture. The “GPT” in ChatGPT stands for “Generative Pre-trained Transformer,” while the “Chat” part indicates its primary focus on conversation and natural language understanding. ChatGPT is designed to generate coherent and contextually relevant responses in a conversational setting.

The GPT architecture, from which ChatGPT is derived, is a type of deep learning model that has been pre-trained on a vast amount of text data, enabling it to understand and generate human-like text based on the input it receives. As a result, ChatGPT can perform various natural language processing tasks, including answering questions, providing recommendations, generating content, and more.

OpenAI has released multiple versions of GPT, with each iteration improving upon its predecessor in terms of size, complexity, and capabilities. ChatGPT is an instance of one such version (in this case, based on the GPT-4 architecture), fine-tuned specifically for conversational applications.

What is Dialogflow?

Dialogflow is an Artificial Intelligence software that enables the creation of applications for human-computer interaction. It utilizes natural language in conversations. Application developers are given the tools to enhance their app’s interaction features for their customers through AI-powered text and voice discussions. With Dialogflow’s help, developers can focus their time on other relevant parts of the creative process while the platform handles the standard protocols and functionalities requiring in-depth grammar rules. The applications you develop in the system use natural language processing. Dialogflow also features an in-line editor so that developers can write the code directly from the console.

Enjoy awesome features of Dialogflow:

  • ✅ Small Talk
  • ✅ Multi-Lingual Agent Support
  • ✅ Agent Creation & Management
  • ✅ Improve support quality even when you are offline

    Hi, I would like to show only a message box (text area) without Subject and “To” (all messages only to admin if possible) areas. I want to give feedback to their answers through private messages. I want to use it as a short answer form in my LMS education website. As my students are very little I need only the message box to insert inside posts by shortcode. If it is possible as I described I can buy it. Best Regards

      Apr 3, 2020

      Hi,
      If you disable member-to-member message and keep only member-to-admin message active from private message settings, it will hide the “To:” field. However, no option to hide the “Subject” line yet. However, your idea seems good and noted for implementation.

  • INES AGUAS

    Hi!
    I have a few questions about the features. Firstly – is there a feature that allows you to ban certain words and symbols from being used? Secondly – Is there feature that lets the admin confirm messages before they are sent out? And lastly – can you limit to which people messages can be sent?
    Regards,
    Mikus

    • Shahjada
      Jun 4, 2020

      # Ban word option is not available yet, but it is in our to-do list.
      # ” Is there feature that lets the admin confirm messages before they are sent out?” — No such option, if we see some other request for this feature, we shall add it in our to-do list
      # Option is not available yet, you only can enable or disable user-to-user communication.

    Hi!
    I’m just trying this plugin out and from the above it seems private chat between users would be possible in the front-end, but I can only see the regular messaging and the live chat which is with an admin. Is there no instant messaging between users like the screenshots above suggest?

    Is it possible to inject custom fields into the email notifications? i.e. I need to inject a person’s job title / image when the system notifies a user that they have an email.

    • Shahjada
      Oct 19, 2020

      Looks like that is not possible yet, but may you please explain me a little more, so that we can add it with the next update of the plugin.

        Oct 26, 2020

        I’d like to list ACF fields next to each user. So, rather than use a gravatar image, for example, I have a custom field with an image, instead.

          We are working on an admin chat view like this:
          Slek%20-%20Chat%20and%20Discussion%20Platform

          On the right column, admin will be able to see the user profile.

    @Shahjada
    Hi,
    1. I’m also intested with the function sending message to the post author via shortcode. Is the option available now?

    2. does [live_chat] works between non-admin user?

    • Shahjada
      Oct 28, 2020

      #1. Please use shortcode: 

      [pm_to_athor label="PM to Author" title="Send Private Message to Author" color="primary"]

      in page/post content to add “PM to Author” button.

      #2. We are adding that option soon, for now, site visitors only can chat with site admins.

    • Shahjada
      Nov 18, 2020

      Hi,
      It will require some code customization. However, here are the parameters to send a PM:

      Endpoint URL:
      rest_url('/wpdmpm/v1/send-message')

      POST DATA:
      send_to => USER_ID
      subject => “Subject”
      message => “Message”

      HEADER:
      X-WP-Nonce => wp_create_nonce('wp_rest')

    • Shahjada
      Nov 23, 2020

      The [wpdm_authors] shortcode is with wpdm pro, no with the private message plugin, but, we shall add it with the private message plugin too, soon.

        • Shahjada
          Apr 7, 2021

          Hi,
          You can put the following shortcode on a post or on a sidebar widget to show a button to allow users to contact the author:

          [pm_to_author label="PM to Author" title="Send Private Message to Author" color="primary"]

    Hello,

    I am trying to translate the plugin to dutch with the LOCO translate plugin but it wont translate anything..

    • Shahjada

      I just tested with LOCO translate plugin, the private message is plugin fine:

      • Martijn
        Jan 12, 2021

        Is it maybe because i only use the private message plugin? and not the download manager plugin..
        i only need the private messages… not the download manager

        • Shahjada
          Jan 12, 2021

          There is no dependency on the download manager plugin.

          • Martijn
            Jan 13, 2021

            Found the problem, can’t translate because the .POT file doesn’t have the words that are on the front-end of the plugin… only some words that are found in the backend.

            words like ” Whitelisted Contacts” “Compose” and “Welcome” that are in the frond end aren’t there… so that’s why it doesn’t change in the front end because the strings don’t match.

            Can you please update your plugin with the ‘GetText‘ formula…. the plugin is great but this should be a native feature in every plugin in this day and age..

          • Shahjada

    So can you send message to entire group? For example – have users labeled volunteer. Can I send message to all volunteers (without having to tick all 109 volunteer profiles)?

  • Phillip Reinhardt
    Jan 21, 2021

    Is there a way to make it where all the members or roles can message all other roles like the admin? I have a group of volunteers who were using another plugin, that had that capability – but the plugin is no longer working (hasn’t been updated in some time). This group of volunteers work at gift shop in a hospital. They get their schedule monthly. At which time, some may need to trade schedules with someone else due to a conflict. They use this plugin feature to send out a message to all other volunteers, to see if someone is willing to trade a shift. So I would need the functionality of them being able to choose all volunteers role (which I created in user profile). Is this possible?

    Hi, I have a few presale questions.

    – Is it correct that I can use this plugin as a standalone plugin on my wordpress site? I want users to be able to chat with each other but I will not be using the wordpress download manager. I want to know if I can still use it then.
    – If my customers log in using a default wordpress login page, will they automatically be registered as a user in this plugin as well? Or do they have to log in through another portal? Are the users from my wordpress site automatically integrated/copied as users in this messaging plugin?
    – Can I show the message dashboard/private messages in the frontend Woocommerce dashboard so users can check their messages in their Woocommerce dashboard instead of your WordPress Download Manager dashboard? As I mentioned before, I will not be using your WordPress Download Manager. If so, how? Do I need to use a shortcode?

    I hope everything I asked above is possible, then I will be happy to buy this plugin!

    Kind regards

    • Shahjada
      Feb 11, 2021

      Hi,
      Thanks for your interest. Here are the answers to your questions:
      — Yes, it is a standalone plugin, no need to use download manager
      — Yes, default login and signup is okay, need to go through a separate process
      — Yes, you can integrate it with the woocommerce account page using any woocommerce account tab manager plugin or also can use the shortcode on a separate page. The shortcode is `[private_message]`. There are a few other shortcodes, explained in `How to use:` section above on this page.

$key = "__msg_status_{$USER_ID}";
$unread_message_count = (int)$wpdb->get_var("select count(*) from {$wpdb->prefix}postmeta where meta_key='{$key}' and meta_value='new'");

    Hi there,

    Before I buy the plugin, I have some questions:

    1. When did you start developing this plugin and where can I find the full changelog?
    2. Is it fully compatible with WP Bakery?
    3. Can you please provide me with a function and a shortcode that counts the unread messages? I would like to use this is menu that shows a number of unread messages to users, similar to something you see on Facebook or any similar social network.
    4. When I as admin send a message to all users or group of users, will they also get an email that they got a new message or not?
    5. When will you release the next version and what improvements can we expect?

    Thank you in advance.

    Best,

      #1. Initial release date Oct 19, 2019, we shall add changelog soon.
      #2. So far we didn’t find any conflict report, but, Our plugin is guaranteed to function on a clean installation of WordPress. We do not guarantee it will function with all 3rd party plugins or with all web browsers. ( https://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/terms-and-conditions/ )
      #3. You can use the code <= PrivateMessage()->message->countUnread(); ?&gt to show unread message count
      #4. Yes, they will get an email.
      #5. We are actively developing this plugin, soon, we shall move it to a separate site of its own, and we are working on WooCommerce integration and improvements on pm automation.

        Hi Shahjada,

        Thank you for your reply and info provided. The only thing I’m concerned is question number 3. For this purpose, I will need a function AKA shortcode that I can implement wherever I want on any page or in the menu. If this is possible and you could provide me with this, I would gladly purchase the plugin.

        And new question, 6 – Does the “members” also come with this plugin, this one > https://demo.wpdownloadmanager.com/wpdmpro/all-members/
        If yes, I will need a way to present users/clients only with certain roles, not all site users…is that possible and will you also add a search and maybe some filter options?

        Thank you in advance.

        Best regards,
        Branislav

          Okay, we shall add a shortcode for that.
          Yes, members list is with this plugin using shortcode [wppmsg_members cols=4], we shall add additional filters with the next update, so you will be able to do that.

            Hi Shahjada,

            Awesome, tnx! Can I expect this shortcode (question 3) in the next release or you will provide me with the function and shortcode after I purchase the plugin?

            Thank you in advance.

    Hi Shahjada,

    I really like your plugin, however, I have noticed that your plugin is causing my server to load intensively (CPU and RAM) and I needed to disable the plugin until we resolve this. My hosting provider confirmed that too, please see the screenshots > http://share.dreamweb.rs/ljm/20210331-sGGswcg9zQ.png

    I hope you can help me to resolve this issue.

    Thank you.

    Best regards,

      Hi, We are using perfectly in our several high traffic sites without any trouble. Probably your server configuration is too low to handle the requests sent by the plugin to check new messages. But, you can reduce the requests by increasing message check interval from PM settings:
      interval
      Also, we are preparing an update with firebase support, then you can use firebase to store PM data instead of your server.

    Hello,

    I’m looking for a messaging (chat) plugin, but I need it to have some particularities :
    – Only one user (user 1) role can create a new conversation
    – User 1 will receive an anonymous form from the other user (user 2), he than needs to be able to create a conversation with user 2 without seeing his name. I have access to user 2’s ID, but user 1 won’t be able to see his name.
    – On my website, if user 2 no longer wants to be anonymous, he has to click on a button to display his name.
    Do you think it would be possible to hide user 2’s name and when he clicks on the button, his name is revealed when chatting on the conversation with user 1 ?

    I know this is a special case, but I really need these features for my solution to run well. If you think it’s possible and, even better, if you know how to do this, I will buy your plugin immediately!

    Thanks in advance for your answer!

    Thank you for your quick response. I have another question. See the User always the menu items Profiles, Affiliates, Downloads, etc. in the dashboard or can I hide these menu items so that the logged in users only see the messages? And does the message plugin also work with the current WordPress version?

    Hello, I bought the Plugin Private Message and have a problem with the translation into German language. I translated it using Loco Translate. It always works very well. But unfortunately I don’t see any translations. Everything is still in English. Do you have any tips for me? Do I have to rename the file or set something else? The name of the translation file is private-message-de_DE.po and is in the same directory as the plugin

            2. Is it possible to add more info to the sidebar which shows the detail about the message author/user? I need to be able to show links to the authors posts. Do you think that’s possible?

    Hi there,
    I searching for a plugin, that allows users to send messages to each other. But instead of having an email like interface (like you message interface), I would like to have a chat type of interface. Something like this: https://i.imgur.com/1A2B2XL.png
    So one user can only have one conversation with another user (and not multiple) and the messages are just like chat messages.
    This interface should be located on one specific site and not like a chat button on every page. I hope it is understandable what I need. Can I archive this with this plugin? So something like a hybrid between the message and the chat function of your plugin. Thanks!

    Hi Shahjada,

    We wish to purchase this plugin. However, there is a question that need to be confirmed.

    The question is: we wish to add a form to our users to fill in and then send the private message for the admin only. This means we wish to add some columns such as ‘Name’/’Date’/’Gender’ etc. Rather than ‘to’ or ‘subject’.

    Is it possible to fulfill this feature?

    Thank you so much for your help.

    Yours Sincerely,
    Leo

    Hi – Great product. We are using the PM portion on our site and it is working nicely. Few questions:

    1. How can we disable email notifications when private messages come through?
    2. How can we allow non-admins to delete messages from their inbox? Currently, this only works for admins – not subscribers.

    Thanks

    • Shahjada
      Oct 20, 2021

      Glad to hear that.
      1. Disable email notification option is not available yet. But noted for implementation.
      2. We are checking the message delete issue from front-end for subscriber, if there are anything to fix we shall adjust it with the next update.

    Hi presales questions,
    I have been setting up a real estate user listing site atm. It has contact form 7 integrated on it but I am not using it as it has only user email contact feature. So my concern is, is it fully compatible to integrate with it so that wp logged in user can send message via single property page ? The theme has a built in dashboard and can it be add message tab on it? Thanks

    • Shahjada
      Mar 3, 2022

      Yes, possible
      “can it be add message tab on it? ” <-- it seems like a custom design and may require to change some code in your theme.

    Hello, I have 2 questions.
    1. Is there a way to prevent the users to send a new message x minutes after their last message?
    2. Is there a way to prevent the users to reply to their own message.

    In my project, private messaging is ONLY for allowing users to contact the admin.
    The admin doesn’t want to get plenty of daily messages. He wants to allow users to send one daily message and that’s all.
    If the time delay is not possible, at least users shouldn’t be able to send a new message UNLESS it’d be a reply from an admin’s message.

    Thanks.

        I use the formidable forms plugin. I already implemented the chat in the entries page, where the submitted forms from a specific user are displayed. I took the username from the corresponding url to find the user id and used it so I can message this specific user.

        Now when the admin in the dashboard clicks on a chat with a user he needs to see the entries from this specific user. Did you create any hooks I can use to place these entries below and get the user id?

        Thanks

    Hello,

    I’m having trouble with the [private_message] shortcode.

    When a user clicks on an individual message that was sent to their Inbox, nothing shows up. Once an individual message is clicked, I can see a div with id=”viewmessage” with added class=”active show” in dev tools, but nothing in that tab is visible or interactable on the frontend.

    A solution would be much appreciated!

  • mitchell c

    With the latest version of the plugin.
    I noticed that it complains about vue.component when running as a shortcode

    [private_message]

    i was able to find the issue,
    on line 300 of plugins/private-message/private-message.php
    wp_enqueue_script(“wppmsg-vue”, ‘https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/vue’);
    this will load vue 3.4.0
    your project seems to be only vue2,

    this breaks in production.
    if you change it to wp_enqueue_script(“wppmsg-vue”, ‘https://unpkg.com/vue@2.6.14/dist/vue.js’);
    it will work.

    Additionally.

    in the Class Function __Template for the function locate.
    i think you could make some changes,

    the second argument is $tpldir
    it should be stripping
    the line

    $template_dirs[] = get_template_directory().’/private-message/’.$tpldir.’/’;
    would result in an unobtainable path.
    because this is your theme directory + _DIR_ from when this locate function was called.
    Please check

    plugins/private-message/src/Message/MessageController.php line 79 for refrence of _DIR_ being used in the second paremeter.

    Why does this matter?
    when pulling in the templates to your stylesheet directory.
    I have to put everything in the private-messages/*.php. directory
    when it should be
    private-messages/**/*.php

    for the example on line 79, i would expect it to find the php from theme-dir/private-messages/views/pm-front.php
    however it does not, and finds it at theme-dir/private-messages/pm-front.php

    Happy to communicate directly with you on working on these fixes together.

    • Shahjada
      Jun 12, 2023

      Hi,
      Thanks for your detailed explanation. But seems like you are using an old version, as in the latest version 3.7.1, we are not using vue js from CDN.

      However, trimming $tpldir was a good suggestion, we have done that for the next update.
      But private-messages/**/*.php in side the child theme is not necessary, as you can keep the template files directly inside private-messages/ dir in your child theme.

    1. Can you please elaborate more about the flow where users can send a private message/direct message to each other?

    2. The mailinbox how does it actually work, am I suppose to setup the users email address?

    3. In mailbox when I try to compose by sending new inbox how can I find my contacts? As typing to see suggestions is not a user friendly

    • Shahjada
      Jul 27, 2023

      Hi.
      Thanks for your queries.
      1. By default user can send message to site admins, but site admin can enable the option to allow user to use messaging option, then users can send a private message/direct message to each other.
      2. No separate account setup is needed, also, still users can’t reply directly from their email, they need to click reply link and it will land them to your site message/mailbox.
      3. For that, admin need to allow user-user messaging option ( as mentioned in #1 ). Then user will be able to search their contact by name or email. Alternative way is, if go to contact menu and send me message to your any contact from there.
