FirstFiveMin

Priskribo

FirstFiveMin answers your new leads while they are still interested — your phone rings first, and if
you cannot take it, an assistant calls them, qualifies them, and books them onto your calendar.

This plugin is the WordPress half of that, and it is deliberately small. You paste the widget key from
your FirstFiveMin dashboard, and the plugin loads the FirstFiveMin form on your pages. Everything else —
the form, the consent record, the call — happens in FirstFiveMin.

Where the form shows. Under Settings FirstFiveMin, “Show as” offers three choices:

  • A corner button on every page (the default). A small button sits in the corner of every page and
    opens the form. It adds nothing to your page layout. Above the form, the button can also offer the
    other ways to reach you that you turn on in FirstFiveMin: call, text, your reviews and your contact
    card. Each one shows only when it is set up there.
  • Only where you add it. Add [firstfivemin] to a page or post, or the FirstFiveMin form block
    in the block editor, and the form shows right there.
  • Both. The corner button on every page, and the form where you add it. On a page that has the
    form, the button takes the visitor to it.

Your other ways to be reached, anywhere on your site. Besides the form, the same shortcode and block
can place one of your other ways to be reached, wherever you want it: in the FirstFiveMin form block,
choose it under “What this block shows”, or add a type to the shortcode:

  • [firstfivemin type="call"] and [firstfivemin type="text"]: a Call or Text button for your own line.
  • [firstfivemin type="reviews"]: a link to your reviews.
  • [firstfivemin type="contact"]: “Save our contact”, which opens your contact card.
  • [firstfivemin type="qr"]: a QR code for your contact card, so a visitor on a computer can save you on
    their phone.
  • [firstfivemin type="page"]: a link to your page on FirstFiveMin.
  • [firstfivemin type="book"]: “Book a call”, which opens the form at its time choice so the visitor picks when you call. It shows
    on a page that also has the form or the corner button.
  • [firstfivemin type="directions"]: “Directions”, a map link to the address you typed in FirstFiveMin (Settings, Quick replies),
    shown once you turn on the Directions tile on the Get leads page.

Each one shows only when it is set up in FirstFiveMin, with the same words and links as your corner
button. One that is not set up shows nothing, never a button that does not work. You can place as many
as you like on a page.

How it looks. Light, dark, or transparent (the form takes your site’s colours), a button colour, how
round the corners are, the width, your site’s font or the form’s own, and which corner the button sits
in. A button colour too light for white text is refused and the standard blue is used, so the button
always stays readable. No choice changes the consent wording on the form. The same choices, with a live
preview, are on the Get leads page in FirstFiveMin.

What it does not do. We think a site owner should be able to check this in about a minute, so
there is not much to check:

  • It makes no outbound request of its own — not on activation, not on save, not on a page view.
    The only thing that contacts FirstFiveMin is the form script, running in your visitor’s browser.
  • It collects and stores no visitor data. No database table, no cookie, nothing read about the
    visitor.
  • It registers no REST route and no AJAX handler. Its shortcode and its block print an empty
    placeholder that the form fills.
  • It uses no eval, no obfuscation, and runs no code it fetches on your server.
  • When you uninstall it, it deletes its options and leaves nothing behind.

One thing to set on the FirstFiveMin side. On the same Get leads page in FirstFiveMin, add your
site under Allowed website domains, or leads from here are refused. That refusal is on purpose — it
is what stops somebody else embedding your form on their site and filling your dashboard.

External services

This plugin shows the FirstFiveMin lead form, a service run by FirstFiveMin (https://firstfivemin.com/).
Your server never contacts FirstFiveMin because of this plugin. Everything below happens in your
visitor’s browser, on the pages where the form or the corner button shows. Like any web request, each
one carries the visitor’s IP address and browser details.

  • When the page loads: the browser loads the form script from
    https://firstfivemin.com/pages/widget/stl-widget.js (or the FirstFiveMin address you set) and asks
    FirstFiveMin for the form’s settings, sending your widget key and the page’s language. On a page where
    you placed any of your other ways to be reached, it asks for those too (which ones the page has), and
    draws them from the answer.
  • When a visitor types a phone number and leaves that field: the number is sent to FirstFiveMin to
    check whether it is outside calling hours, so the form can offer a time for the call. It is not saved.
  • Only if you are testing two versions of the form: the browser remembers, for that visit only
    (session storage), which version it showed; and when the visitor first clicks into the form, a count
    that the form was started is sent, with nothing the visitor typed.
  • When a visitor submits the form: what they typed (their name, phone, email and the other fields
    shown) and their answer to the consent question on the form are sent to your FirstFiveMin account,
    together with your widget key.
  • Why: so your FirstFiveMin account receives the lead and can reach them as the visitor agreed.
  • FirstFiveMin terms of service: https://firstfivemin.com/terms
  • FirstFiveMin privacy policy: https://firstfivemin.com/privacy

The form also uses Cloudflare Turnstile, a check that tells people apart from automated spam. When a
visitor submits the form, the Turnstile check loads from https://challenges.cloudflare.com/, and
Cloudflare receives the browser and network details it needs for that check.

Privacy

This plugin stores four options in your WordPress database — your widget key, the FirstFiveMin
address, “Show as”, and your look choices — and nothing else. It does not read or store any
information about your visitors. Information your visitors type into the FirstFiveMin form goes to
FirstFiveMin under the consent shown on that form; see https://firstfivemin.com/privacy and
“External services” above.

Blocks

This plugin provides 1 block.

  • FirstFiveMin form Shows your FirstFiveMin lead form here – or one of your other ways to be reached: call, text, reviews, your contact card and its QR code, your page.

Instalo

  1. Install and activate the plugin (Plugins Add New Upload Plugin, and choose the firstfivemin.zip
    from your FirstFiveMin Get leads page).
  2. In FirstFiveMin, open Get leads and copy your widget key (it begins wk_).
  3. In WordPress, go to Settings FirstFiveMin, paste the key, and save.
  4. In FirstFiveMin, on the same Get leads page, add this site under Allowed website domains.
  5. A corner button now shows on every page. To show the form in a particular place instead, choose
    “Only where I add it” and add [firstfivemin] or the FirstFiveMin form block there.

Leave the key empty to switch the form off without deactivating the plugin.

OD

Where does the form appear?

By default, behind a corner button on every page. Where you add [firstfivemin] or the FirstFiveMin
form block, the form shows there instead. Settings FirstFiveMin “Show as” changes this.

Does this send anything to FirstFiveMin from my server?

No. Your server never contacts FirstFiveMin because of this plugin. The form script runs in the
visitor’s browser; “External services” above lists what it sends and when.

Do I need a FirstFiveMin account?

Yes — the key comes from your dashboard. The plugin is not useful on its own, which is why it asks
for the key up front rather than pretending to work without one.

Why does my form not appear?

The usual reasons: the key is missing or mistyped (the settings page refuses a key of the wrong shape
and tells you so), “Show as” is set to “Only where I add it” and the page has no [firstfivemin] or
block, or this site is not under Allowed website domains in FirstFiveMin (then the form shows but
refuses to send).

Can the form match my site?

Yes: light, dark or transparent, your button colour, corner roundness, width, font, and the button’s
corner. The consent wording always stays as it is, and a button colour too light to read is refused.

Do I need to update the plugin to get fixes to the form?

No. The form script comes from FirstFiveMin, so improvements to the form reach your site on their own.
Plugin updates only change the plugin itself.

Where does the data go, and who can see it?

To your FirstFiveMin account, under the consent your visitor gives on the form itself. The plugin
adds nothing to that and cannot see it.

Does it slow my site down?

The script loads async, so it never blocks your page from rendering. The corner button is fixed in
place, so it does not move anything on your page.

Ŝanĝprotokolo

1.2.5

  • Every function, constant and option now uses the “firstfivemin_” prefix. Settings saved by an earlier version are moved to the new names automatically, then the old ones are removed.

1.2.4

  • Two more things the shortcode and the block can place: “Book a call” (the form, opened at its time choice) and “Directions”
    (a map link to your address). Directions shows only after you turn on its tile in FirstFiveMin.

1.2.3

  • The shortcode and the block can now place your other ways to be reached, not only the form: a Call or
    Text button, your reviews, your contact card, a QR code for it, and a link to your page. In the block,
    choose under “What this block shows”; in the shortcode, add a type, e.g. [firstfivemin type="call"].
    Each one shows only when it is set up in FirstFiveMin.

1.2.2

  • A “Settings” link beside Deactivate on the Plugins list.
  • Until you save your widget key, one notice on the Plugins list and the Dashboard links to the setting. It goes away once the key
    is saved.

1.2.1

  • The corner button can also offer call, text, your reviews and your contact card above the form. You
    choose them on the Get leads page in FirstFiveMin; the plugin itself changes nothing and sends nothing
    new.

1.2.0

  • New: a corner button on every page that opens the form — now the default. It adds nothing to your
    page layout and works from the key alone.
  • New: the FirstFiveMin form block, beside the [firstfivemin] shortcode.
  • New: “Show as” (corner button, only where you add it, or both) replaces “At the end of every page”.
    A site that had turned that off keeps showing the form only where it was added.
  • New: the look — light, dark or transparent, button colour, corners, width, font and the button’s
    corner. A button colour too light for white text is refused.
  • External services now lists everything the form sends and when, including Cloudflare Turnstile.

1.1.0

  • Fix: the form now always shows. 1.0.0 put the form inside the page head, where nobody could see it.
  • New: [firstfivemin] puts the form exactly where you want it; “At the end of every page” can be turned off.
  • The form script is now loaded through WordPress’s script API.
  • Tested up to WordPress 7.1.

1.0.0

  • First release: one key, one script tag.
