Tidybot

Description

Tidybot is a WordPress plugin that integrates with Tidycal to provide scheduling and appointment booking functionality directly on your website. The plugin displays a customizable chat-like widget that allows your visitors to book appointments through your Tidycal calendar.

Key Features:

• Easy integration with Tidycal
• Customizable widget position (bottom-right or bottom-left)
• Adjustable button color to match your brand
• Configurable delay time for automatic widget opening
• Subscription verification system

Important Note:
As of version 1.9.77, an email address is required for the widget to display on the frontend. This ensures proper subscription validation and prevents unauthorized usage.

3. Button Color: Choose a color for the widget button that matches your site’s branding
