Third-party services

niftyConnect is an independent plugin and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Discord, Meta, WhatsApp, Telegram, Automattic, or WooCommerce.

niftyConnect can send Discord notifications only after an administrator configures an incoming Discord webhook URL. When Discord is enabled, the plugin sends the notification subject, notification body, optional webhook username, optional avatar URL, optional thread ID, and relevant event content to Discord’s webhook API so Discord can post the message to the configured channel or thread. Depending on enabled triggers and templates, this may include site, post, comment, user, security, and WooCommerce order details. Webhook URLs can be stored in plugin settings or supplied through the NIFTYCONNECT_DISCORD_WEBHOOK_URL constant in wp-config.php.

niftyConnect can send Telegram notifications only after an administrator enters a Telegram bot token and chat ID. When Telegram is enabled, the plugin sends the notification subject, notification body, and configured chat ID to the Telegram Bot API so Telegram can deliver the message. Depending on the enabled triggers and templates, the notification message may include site, post, comment, user, and WooCommerce order details selected in your notification template.

niftyConnect can send WhatsApp notifications only after an administrator configures a Meta access token, WhatsApp business phone number ID, recipient number, and message mode. When WhatsApp is enabled, the plugin sends the configured recipient phone number, notification subject and body, template details, and relevant event content to Meta’s Graph API so WhatsApp can deliver the message. Depending on enabled triggers and templates, this may include site, post, comment, user, security, and WooCommerce order details. Access tokens can be stored in plugin settings or supplied through the NIFTYCONNECT_WHATSAPP_ACCESS_TOKEN constant in wp-config.php.
