Couac – Visual Feedback & Client Reviews

Couac is a visual feedback and review tool for agencies and their clients. This plugin embeds the Couac feedback widget on your WordPress site so visitors, clients or your QA team can leave feedback in one click, with a screenshot and the exact element they pointed at.

This is the official Couac plugin, built and maintained by G3W (https://gianito.com), the company that operates the Couac service at https://couac.app.

The plugin only decides where and to whom the widget appears. The widget’s look and feel (position, color, mascot, language, behaviour) stays managed in your Couac project, so a single source of truth drives every site.

Features

• Guided three-step setup right after activation: connect, choose who sees it, check it on the site.
• The key is checked with Couac as soon as you paste it, with the project name and whether this site is allowed.
• One honest status on the settings page: it tells you when the widget really loads, and how to fix it when it does not.
• Private review by default: only the roles you pick see the widget until you open it to the public.
• Audience targeting: a private review for chosen roles, every logged-in account, or the whole public site.
• Page targeting: all pages, only selected content types / IDs, or everywhere except selected ones.
• Optional loading inside the wp-admin dashboard.
• Advanced: load the widget from a dedicated Couac server address, tested before it is saved.
• No tracking added by the plugin, no database tables, lightweight.

You need a Couac account and a project to get a key. Create one at https://couac.app.

External services

This plugin loads the Couac feedback widget from Couac’s servers and embeds it on your pages.

• Service: Couac (https://couac.app), operated by G3W.
• What is sent: when a visitor opens the widget and submits feedback, the widget sends the feedback content, an optional screenshot, the page URL and basic technical metadata to Couac. The plugin itself sends only your public project key to identify your project.
• Checks from the settings page: when an administrator pastes a key or opens the plugin settings page, their browser asks Couac to confirm the key and checks that the widget script can be loaded. Only the public project key is sent. Couac answers with the project name and records that the widget is installed, so the Couac dashboard can show it. The WordPress server itself never contacts Couac.

By installing this plugin and adding your project key, you agree that the widget script is loaded from Couac on the pages you target.

Development

The plugin runs without any build step: the front-end injection is pure PHP and the admin script falls back to the unminified source when no compiled bundle is present.

The admin settings-page assets are built with webpack. The human-readable sources ship inside the plugin under assets/src/ (assets/src/js/admin.js, assets/src/scss/admin.scss); the compiled bundles live in assets/dist/. The build tooling (webpack.config.js, package.json) is included too.

To regenerate the compiled assets from source:

npm install && npm run build
