Setting up CTA Extras

CTA Extras activation

To add and configure the call-to-action window with multimedia and interactive content, go to the WordPress dashboard in the Joinchat > Settings > Premium menu and enable (ON) the CTA Extras add-on.

At a general level

With CTA Extras you can create rich content in the chat window, to make calls to action (CTA) much more appealing. You can add video, links or linked images, you can even add animated Iframes or gifs.

1. To add content, go to the WordPress control panel and click Settings> Joinchat.
2. In the section Chat window / Call to action click on the text field, to the left will appear Extended syntax, where you can see the different ways to add content.
3. Click on save changes and check the chat window to see that everything is to your liking.

Extended syntax

In addition to WhatsApp formatting styles _italic_ *bold* ~strikethrough~ with Joinchat CTA Extras you can enrich your Calls to Action with links, images, videos and more.

The elements can be combined. For example, for an image with link:
{LINK https://www.example.com {IMG image.jpg alt_text}}

Images

On images you can use an image url or an image ID of your Media Library.
💡 Recommendation: if ID is used, the image will be resized to the defined size or width of the message.

You can use FEATURED or THUMB as image url to use the Featured Image of current post or product.

The default style for Joinchat images has rounded edges and a small shadow. But some images have a white or transparent background and can be unsightly. To disable these styles simply add a width less than 330, e.g. {IMG image.jpg 325 alt_text}. It is also useful for using small inline images (such as icons or logos).

Multiple Messages

You can write several messages, each with its speech bubble, simulating a conversation. Only need to add a new line with === between messages. See an example:

Hi! 👋
