FirstFiveMin

FirstFiveMin answers your new leads while they are still interested — your phone rings first, and if you cannot take it, an assistant calls them, qualifies them, and books them onto your calendar. This plugin is the WordPress half of that, and it is deliberately small. You paste the widget key from your FirstFiveMin dashboard, and the plugin loads the FirstFiveMin form on your pages. Everything else — the form, the consent record, the call — happens in FirstFiveMin. Where the form shows. Under Settings → FirstFiveMin, "Show as" offers three choices:

• A corner button on every page (the default). A small button sits in the corner of every page and opens the form. It adds nothing to your page layout. Above the form, the button can also offer the other ways to reach you that you turn on in FirstFiveMin: call, text, your reviews and your contact card. Each one shows only when it is set up there.
• Only where you add it. Add [firstfivemin] to a page or post, or the FirstFiveMin form block in the block editor, and the form shows right there.
• Both. The corner button on every page, and the form where you add it. On a page that has the form, the button takes the visitor to it.

Your other ways to be reached, anywhere on your site. Besides the form, the same shortcode and block can place one of your other ways to be reached, wherever you want it: in the FirstFiveMin form block, choose it under "What this block shows", or add a type to the shortcode:

• [firstfivemin type="call"] and [firstfivemin type="text"]: a Call or Text button for your own line.
• [firstfivemin type="reviews"]: a link to your reviews.
• [firstfivemin type="contact"]: "Save our contact", which opens your contact card.
• [firstfivemin type="qr"]: a QR code for your contact card, so a visitor on a computer can save you on their phone.
• [firstfivemin type="page"]: a link to your page on FirstFiveMin.
• [firstfivemin type="book"]: "Book a call", which opens the form at its time choice so the visitor picks when you call. It shows on a page that also has the form or the corner button.
• [firstfivemin type="directions"]: "Directions", a map link to the address you typed in FirstFiveMin (Settings, Quick replies), shown once you turn on the Directions tile on the Get leads page.

Each one shows only when it is set up in FirstFiveMin, with the same words and links as your corner button. One that is not set up shows nothing, never a button that does not work. You can place as many as you like on a page. How it looks. Light, dark, or transparent (the form takes your site's colours), a button colour, how round the corners are, the width, your site's font or the form's own, and which corner the button sits in. A button colour too light for white text is refused and the standard blue is used, so the button always stays readable. No choice changes the consent wording on the form. The same choices, with a live preview, are on the Get leads page in FirstFiveMin. What it does not do. We think a site owner should be able to check this in about a minute, so there is not much to check:

• It makes no outbound request of its own — not on activation, not on save, not on a page view. The only thing that contacts FirstFiveMin is the form script, running in your visitor's browser.
• It collects and stores no visitor data. No database table, no cookie, nothing read about the visitor.
• It registers no REST route and no AJAX handler. Its shortcode and its block print an empty placeholder that the form fills.
• It uses no eval, no obfuscation, and runs no code it fetches on your server.
• When you uninstall it, it deletes its options and leaves nothing behind.

One thing to set on the FirstFiveMin side. On the same Get leads page in FirstFiveMin, add your site under Allowed website domains, or leads from here are refused. That refusal is on purpose — it is what stops somebody else embedding your form on their site and filling your dashboard.

1. Install and activate the plugin (Plugins → Add New → Upload Plugin, and choose the firstfivemin.zip from your FirstFiveMin Get leads page).
2. In FirstFiveMin, open Get leads and copy your widget key (it begins wk_).
3. In WordPress, go to Settings → FirstFiveMin, paste the key, and save.
4. In FirstFiveMin, on the same Get leads page, add this site under Allowed website domains.
5. A corner button now shows on every page. To show the form in a particular place instead, choose "Only where I add it" and add [firstfivemin] or the FirstFiveMin form block there.

Leave the key empty to switch the form off without deactivating the plugin.

1.2.5

• Every function, constant and option now uses the "firstfivemin_" prefix. Settings saved by an earlier version are moved to the new names automatically, then the old ones are removed.

1.2.4

• Two more things the shortcode and the block can place: "Book a call" (the form, opened at its time choice) and "Directions" (a map link to your address). Directions shows only after you turn on its tile in FirstFiveMin.

1.2.3

• The shortcode and the block can now place your other ways to be reached, not only the form: a Call or Text button, your reviews, your contact card, a QR code for it, and a link to your page. In the block, choose under "What this block shows"; in the shortcode, add a type, e.g. [firstfivemin type="call"]. Each one shows only when it is set up in FirstFiveMin.

1.2.2

• A "Settings" link beside Deactivate on the Plugins list.
• Until you save your widget key, one notice on the Plugins list and the Dashboard links to the setting. It goes away once the key is saved.

1.2.1

• The corner button can also offer call, text, your reviews and your contact card above the form. You choose them on the Get leads page in FirstFiveMin; the plugin itself changes nothing and sends nothing new.

1.2.0

• New: a corner button on every page that opens the form — now the default. It adds nothing to your page layout and works from the key alone.
• New: the FirstFiveMin form block, beside the [firstfivemin] shortcode.
• New: "Show as" (corner button, only where you add it, or both) replaces "At the end of every page". A site that had turned that off keeps showing the form only where it was added.
• New: the look — light, dark or transparent, button colour, corners, width, font and the button's corner. A button colour too light for white text is refused.
• External services now lists everything the form sends and when, including Cloudflare Turnstile.

1.1.0

• Fix: the form now always shows. 1.0.0 put the form inside the page head, where nobody could see it.
• New: [firstfivemin] puts the form exactly where you want it; "At the end of every page" can be turned off.
• The form script is now loaded through WordPress's script API.
• Tested up to WordPress 7.1.

1.0.0

• First release: one key, one script tag.
