With the Rimoq plugin, you can:
- Automatically sync your WordPress posts and pages with Rimoq

Note: This plugin relies on the Rimoq cloud service to provide its AI-powered features. The plugin itself will activate and load without any credentials, but in order to enable chatbot functionality, you must provide a valid Rimoq API Key.
You can sign up directly from the plugin’s “Signup” tab. After registering, you will receive an activation email. You must click the activation link in that email to activate your account and generate your API Key.
If you already have an account, you can generate or manage your API Key at: https://rimoq.com/apikey
