Social icons, share buttons and a chat button, in one plugin
WPZOOM Connect (formerly Social Icons Widget & Block) adds social media icons linking to your profiles, share buttons for your content, and a floating Click to Chat button for WhatsApp, Telegram, Messenger and Viber. Everything works as a Gutenberg block, a classic widget, a shortcode or an Elementor widget, so it fits block themes and classic themes alike.
- 2,400+ icons from WPZOOM Icons, Font Awesome, Academicons, Dashicons and Genericons — every network, plus general icons for phone, email, location and more. Browse them all in Settings Icon library.
- Paste a link, get the icon. The icon, its brand color and label are picked from the URL.
- Inline SVG, no icon fonts. Pages load only the icons they show: no 130 KB of font CSS, no clash with your theme’s Font Awesome.
- Icons with or without links. Leave the link empty for a plain icon, or use the Icon by WPZOOM block for a single icon: a feature, a decoration, a phone number.
- Social Profiles block — your profiles as a tidy list with handles (@yourname) and follower counts. Pick your networks, paste each link, and the icon, name and handle come from it.
- Share buttons for Facebook, X, Threads, LinkedIn, Pinterest, Reddit, Telegram, WhatsApp, Bluesky, Email, Copy Link and Print, placed with a block or added to your posts automatically.
- Google Preferred Sources button — readers who add your site see more of it in Google’s Top Stories and AI results.
- Click to Chat — one floating button that opens WhatsApp, Telegram, Messenger or Viber in a tap.

Optional: AI Chat
The Click to Chat button can also answer visitors itself. AI Chat reads your pages and docs and replies to questions — pricing, how-to, shipping — in your visitors’ language, and hands the conversation to you (or to WhatsApp) when a person is needed. It is off until you connect it, and it is powered by Yamidoo, a WPZOOM product with a free plan.
- See it before you switch it on. The Support Readiness Scan reads a few of your pages from wp-admin and shows the questions your visitors are likely to ask, answered from your content. Nothing is sent until you click.
- One-click connect. No API keys: create a free account (or sign in) and the chat is live.
- Human handoff. Visitors can ask for a person; you reply from the Yamidoo dashboard, by email, or point them to WhatsApp.
- Knows your customers. With Easy Digital Downloads or WooCommerce, your team sees a customer’s orders, licenses and subscriptions next to the conversation. Optionally the AI answers logged-in customers’ account questions — a separate switch, off by default.

External services (AI Chat)
The optional AI Chat feature connects your site to Yamidoo (https://yamidoo.ai/), a hosted service operated by WPZOOM BV. Nothing is sent to Yamidoo until you click Scan my site or Turn on AI Chat in the plugin settings.
- Scan my site sends your site’s public URL to
https://app.yamidoo.ai/api/scan, which reads up to 14 of your public pages and returns a report shown in wp-admin. - Turn on AI Chat opens
https://app.yamidoo.aito create or sign in to your Yamidoo account and connect this site; your site URL is shared so Yamidoo can index your public pages, and your WordPress email and name are passed along to prefill the sign-up form. - Once connected, the front end loads the chat widget (
widget.js) fromhttps://app.yamidoo.ai. When a visitor uses the chat, their messages, an anonymous session id, the page URL and basic browser data are sent to Yamidoo. If “identify logged-in users” is on, the logged-in user’s name, email, username and user id are sent too. - If customer lookup is on (offered only when Easy Digital Downloads or WooCommerce is active): when your team opens a conversation, or the AI answers a logged-in customer, your Yamidoo workspace requests that one email’s record from this site (
/wp-json/yamidoo/v1/customer) — customer, orders, licenses and subscriptions. Each request is signed with a per-site secret; the record is shown to your team and used for that answer, then discarded.
