External Services<\/h3>\n\n
This plugin relies on a third-party service to retrieve site variables (business information, contact details, social media URLs, etc.) that you configure in the A1 Tools dashboard.<\/p>\n\n
A1 Tools API<\/h4>\n\n
What it is:<\/strong> A1 Tools is a business management platform operated by A1 Chimney Service that allows businesses to centrally manage their contact information, addresses, operating hours, and social media links across multiple websites.<\/p>\n\nWhat data is sent:<\/strong> When this plugin is activated and the site loads (or when a shortcode is used), the plugin sends your WordPress site URL to the A1 Tools API to retrieve the site variables you have configured for that specific site.<\/p>\n\nWhen data is sent:<\/strong>\n- When a page containing A1 Tools shortcodes is loaded\n- When the plugin's admin settings page is accessed\n- When the cache expires and fresh data is needed (configurable, default 5 minutes)<\/p>\n\nWhat data is received:<\/strong> The plugin receives only the site variables you have configured in your A1 Tools dashboard, such as business name, phone numbers, email addresses, physical address, operating hours, and social media URLs.<\/p>\n\nService Provider:<\/strong> A1 Chimney Service\nAPI Endpoint:<\/strong> https:\/\/tools.a-1chimney.com\/api\/website_variables.php\nTerms of Service:<\/strong> https:\/\/a-1chimney.com\/terms-of-service\/\nPrivacy Policy:<\/strong> https:\/\/a-1chimney.com\/privacy-policy\/<\/p>\n\nGoogle Maps Embed API<\/h4>\n\n
What it is:<\/strong> Google Maps is a web mapping service developed by Google. This plugin can embed Google Maps iframes to display your business location.<\/p>\n\nWhat data is sent:<\/strong> When using the [a1tools_google_map type=\"embed\"]<\/code> shortcode, your visitor's browser loads an iframe from Google Maps containing your business address or place ID that you configured in the A1 Tools dashboard.<\/p>\n\nWhen data is sent:<\/strong>\n- Only when a page containing the [a1tools_google_map type=\"embed\"]<\/code> shortcode is loaded\n- The embed is loaded client-side by the visitor's browser directly from Google<\/p>\n\nWhat data is received:<\/strong> Google Maps returns the embedded map showing your business location. Google may collect visitor data according to their privacy policy.<\/p>\n\nService Provider:<\/strong> Google LLC\nEmbed URL:<\/strong> https:\/\/www.google.com\/maps\/embed\/v1\/place\nTerms of Service:<\/strong> https:\/\/www.google.com\/intl\/en_us\/help\/terms_maps\/\nPrivacy Policy:<\/strong> https:\/\/policies.google.com\/privacy<\/p>\n\n\n\n- Upload the
a1-tools<\/code> folder to the \/wp-content\/plugins\/<\/code> directory<\/li>\n- Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress<\/li>\n
- Ensure your site is registered in your A1 Tools dashboard under Integrations > WordPress Sites<\/li>\n
- Configure your site variables in A1 Tools under Marketing Tools > Web Management > Site Variables<\/li>\n
- Use the shortcodes in your pages, posts, or widgets<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n
\nHow do I get an A1 Tools account?<\/h3><\/dt>\nA1 Tools is a business management platform. Contact A1 Chimney Service for access information.<\/p><\/dd>\n
Why are my variables not showing?<\/h3><\/dt>\n\n- Verify your site URL in A1 Tools matches your WordPress site URL exactly (including https:\/\/)<\/li>\n
- Check that you have saved variables for this site in A1 Tools<\/li>\n
- Go to A1 Tools in your admin menu and click \"Clear Cache Now\" to fetch fresh data<\/li>\n<\/ol><\/dd>\n
How often do variables update?<\/h3><\/dt>\nVariables are cached based on your settings (default 5 minutes). You can configure the cache duration or disable caching entirely in the A1 Tools settings page. To force an immediate update, use the \"Clear Cache Now\" button on the settings page.<\/p><\/dd>\n
Can I use this with Elementor?<\/h3><\/dt>\nYes! The plugin registers dynamic tags that appear under the \"A1 Tools\" group in Elementor. You can also use the Shortcode widget with any of the available shortcodes.<\/p><\/dd>\n
Is this plugin free?<\/h3><\/dt>\nThe plugin is free and open source. However, it requires an A1 Tools account to function, as it retrieves data from the A1 Tools platform.<\/p><\/dd>\n
What data does this plugin send to external services?<\/h3><\/dt>\nSee the \"External Services\" section above for complete details. In summary, the plugin sends your site URL to the A1 Tools API to retrieve the site variables you have configured.
